At a recruitment talk recently..

A: Why is the company such a highly-sought-after one?

B: Because of IMPACT.

A: Define “IMPACT”.

B: IMPACT is when someone says the nicest music that you hear when you start your computer, is the windows logon sound.

That’s IMPACT.

And yes, that’s Microsoft for you. LoL

================================

It’s damn pissing when you realise your FYP pc has been restarted by some idiots.

Fark! It’s FYP pc! It’s an allocated pc for the project! And bloody hell it’s locked by the owner! Farking idiot went to press the restart button! Bloody hell I saw you restarting another FYP pc!

I’m not being a racist, but farking indian can you show some respect ? FYP pc being locked means the owner is running some programs that need to run for a long time.

I’m damn pissed. I already kept an eye close when you eat and drink in the lab WITHOUT clearing your rubbish. I kept an eye closed when my surrounding is infested by the so many of you. I kept an eye closed when you guys are not working on anything but watching shows! Damn irritating when people are doing their fyp! Fark!

I’m definitely not against Indians, but it really is damn pissing when I have to redo quite a hell lot of stuff coz that farking idiot restarted my fyp pc.

Fark fark fark!

I think it’s the first time in my life that I actually dread school.. I hate not meeting schedules ( partly why I dread every week’s FYP meeting lolx ).

Actually overall I’m ok.. but I really dread Mondays. Think I’m pretty burnt out by the time I reach home on Mondays that I practically don’t feel like doing FYP for Tue’s meeting. Monday’s my longest day of the week, with lessons from 8.30am till 7.30pm, with only 1 2-hr break and 1 1-hr break in between, and a 6-hr long non-stop lessons from 1.30pm till 7.30pm. I’m literally stoning by the time I step into LT2A for the 2-hr long 5.30pm lecture. For once I’m actually counting down to exams, I’d rather be chionging for exams than to listen to lectures trying to capture whatever stuff that had been said by the 5 lecturers.

Next sem, I want a better timetable. And of course, not at the expense of taking modules that I have no interest in.

Can tomorrow don’t come? I really don’t feel like going school. =(

Fell down while going up the stairs at the foyer of Nanyang Auditorium yesterday, and fell down within the auditorium just now. Both my legs are injured.. *sob* Gonna take MC and not appear for the event tomorrow.. ^^ I’m a handicapped!

Have not been blogging for 2 days. Let me do a recap..

Thursday
Spent the morning at home editing the map of the shuttle bus route for the conference. Met up with Rykel from Amway to discuss about the business plan. Rushed down to Temasek Poly after that for a Life After Graduation talk for the year 3s. Dominic & Hannah were there, Alan got the wrong date, and 3 other juniors from my course were there too. Out of the 6 of us, 2 are university graduates (overseas), 1 taking a degree from Laselle-Art & 2 studying Computer Science in NUS. Ya I’m the only one from NTU (again), the only person crazy enough to study engineering in university while the rest study software.. Went back to hall after that, to finish up the map, timeline for the conference, marketing interim report & SC207 project. That was the plan, but I only managed to finish the map. Was too tired to start the research for the interim report, which was supposed to be due on Friday morning.

Friday
(Suddenly I forgot what I did on Friday morning, had to sit in front of the laptop and think for 5minutes before I finally remembered)
Had Robot Soccer competition today. The last matches before the champion is finalised. Was in Robotics lab before 9am (ya.. I was early for once..). Was there to oversee the whole competition as the chairperson Lee Lim couldn’t take leave from work. The deliveryman for the conference door gifts was here, had to run down to the auditorium and see where they can be placed. Found an “office”, but was later told to shift all our stuff (Mineral water & other stuff that arrived later) to the room next door. And I fell while going up the stairs @ the auditorium foyer.. Left at 11.10am for a recee of the bus tour (for the conference). By the time it’s done, it was close to 2pm. Went back to robotics lab to catch the last match. At 2.45pm, I got called up by NTU’s Corporate Communications dept. I actually forgot I had to meet the people from Southwest CDC at 2.30! *oops* So well.. I went to meet them, left halfway for my GIP interview, and joined them until the meeting ended at 6.30pm..

And yes.. after that I went to watch Hall 15’s 1st production! A Glass of Desires is what it’s called. Consisted of 2 plays, the 1st one was kinda abstract. A bit hard to understand. The 2nd one was still ok.. But the ending wasn’t very clear-cut. Haha.. Not too bad lah.. Being our 1st production ever, I think it was a good job done!

By the time I reached back to hall, it was 11.30pm.. Was so tired (had headache and diarrhoea while watching the production) that I fell asleep the moment I changed out of my clothes.

Today
Was lucky to wake up early (I didn’t set any alarm the night before) enough to take a shower and meet Ying Jun (from SWCDC) @ Boon Lay. Had problems finding the participants as it was raining quite heavily, and it was unsheltered on the way to the shuttle bus pick-up point. It was only until 8.50am that we managed to find a group of them.

Back to school, I “took” the morning off from the conference to do the marketing research. Was halfway thru when I received a call from Phee saying it’s all done. Argh!! I felt so bad! Haven been contributing to this project at all! I’m not a freeloader! I’m feeling so stressed.. No one has been giving me the pressure, but I felt so overwhelmed with the huge pile of workload. Exams are in less than 2 months’ time. And I’ve yet started reading my notes, or rather, I’ve yet read my notes from the day I bought them. Gonna die..

Anyway, was stationed in our HQ the whole day. The event for today is supposed to end at 9pm. Had to go around making sure things are going smoothly. Was in the auditorium for the dry-run, when I slipped and fell AGAIN! This time, I think I sprained my foot and some more bruises in addition to those from yesterday’s fall. Walking with pain.. *sob* After so much running about, I’m staying put in HQ now. Hai.. really felt like I’m not doing anything at all..

So here I am now, at HQ ( it actually is a tutorial room ) doing nothing while the rest are at work..

Just came back frm XW’s house. Whole afternoon was spent playing mahjong. ^^

Term break, but I’m still going school tomorrow morning.. Project discussion. Sianz..

Can’t think of anything else to update.. Except that the day was well spent at catching up with good old friends of 11 years? 😉

I broke my record of not blogging on the 15th. By the time I reached my room, it was already 12.40am. Too late to blog under 15th. 🙁

Routined Tuesday started with 2 lectures at 0930hrs. The 2nd lecture was a guest lecture (, decided to give it a miss. Was at the Students’ Computer Room (SCR for short) when Phee asked if I wanna makan. That was 1045hrs. Break till the next lesson at 1230hrs. Slacked around in SCR again. After tut was another 1hr break, den lab.

207 group discussion after lab, had to leave halfway for WORLDview meeting @ Southwest CDC. Left 1hr later for the WORLDview meeting with the NTU committee in sch. Rushed like mad. Hai.. By the time everything ended, it was already 12+am..

vday.. and I’m stuck in hall ‘coz Ash fly me aeroplane *sob* and my roomie ain’t ard..

So here I am blogging.. Busy day @ school. Skipped lecture for a meeting @ SAO. Had a quick lunch before I stepped into the lab which both my partner & I didn’t do much preparation. And it’s assessment this lab. *dead* And the quiz this morning.. not too bad.. but I didn’t finish reading the notes.. So can’t do a few questions..

So tired.. Think I go take a nap..
