Probably be the post to round up 2007… There is so much I wanna wrap up with, but I guess I will just try and squeeze everything into one entry, so bear with me, if this gets a little too out of control… LOL… Ok, I try to cover the major events that has happened to me in 2007…

This is the year where so much happened, that it feels so surreal that it’s almost over… well… on with the events…

more…

I don’t know to laugh, or cry at this latest set of results… Yes, I endured a very heart-wrenching and agonizing wait to see this on my laptop screen…. with some of my friends online as well…

Honestly, some subjects were better than expected, like AI, I only expected a D, because I really don’t have the confidence to ace the paper… Besides it’s an open book paper, and I really have no idea what to expect for the paper… Another unexpected paper would be Database… I misinterpreted the questions… and I was freak worried…

Unexpected papers were SE2, which I thought I could score, but I was so wrong… as I put it, “bu gan xin”… No matter how good my practical skills are, it just doesn’t and will not translate into grades in theory… Thank goodness I passed OS, the paper that reduced me to tears so badly, I thought I am doomed…

I’m happy for my friends who did well… although I did not, but I should be contented in a way… Yes, I tried my very best, I even mugged my arse off during exams… I gave me more than I should… but oh well…

I hope I still have my friends’ respect, and that I am still accepted as who I am… I know my grades are sucky… it’s even more sucky than last semester… there is nothing much I can do except look forward to graduation…

I guess all the more I should excel in my skill sets…

At last the long wait is over… I got my results… It’s not fantastic. But I am very very glad I passed all of them…

Here they are…
CSC205 – Operating Systems – D

Completely screwed this paper. Second paper that made me cry. Damn glad to pass this.

CSC206 – Database Systems – C

Screwed it in a way. Misinterpreted the questions. Feeling damn idiot after the paper

CSC303 – Software Engineering 2 – D+

Really hoped to pass this paper.

CSC304 – Artificial Intelligence – C+

Worse feared subject of all. Thank goodness. At least I feel more confident in tackling AI.

HL808 – Introduction to Magic Realism – S

Felt it was quite ok. Worth it.

* S stands for Satisfactory. [Means I get the module credits, but not the grades]

Anyway, this semester results is really well screwed in a way. Saving grace is that I passed all. Promoted to final year. Sweetest thing to see…

I tried my best. My hardest best to pass the 4 tough modules. The core modules are tougher than expected.

When the clock strikes 12 tonight…
all eyes on screen…
Just for that one agonizing click…
we shall see…

The moment of truth shall dawn upon us…
Has the efforts paid off?
Or all gone to drain?
We shall see, we shall see….

We laugh, we smile, we cry, we grief…
Whatever is shown on the screen…
Is Final.

Hmm, stayed home today to pack up my table and clear all that horrendous of junk… LOL… and yup, it feels much cleaner now…

Went out on an impromptu dinner and coffee with Miccheng, Tian Hong, Daphnemaia, Chillycraps, and Mingyeow as well… It was really great Thanks Daphnemaia for organising this!

And yes, I am so damned nervous for the release of my semester’s results.

Phew, ok, here’s the final post to conclude the celebrations… So after all that dinner, the cam-whoring, we went to the Fortune of Wealth to watch the laser show as well as well, take more photos…

Warning: If you really can’t stand seeing my photos, don’t click to read more. =P

Made hendri opened his present as well, and well, I was sorta being a bit mean, sticking too much scotch tape to the present paper… haha… *me bad* haha…

Just me beside the lovely xmas tree…

After the wonderful and stuffing dinner… We decided to take a walk around the mall before heading to the Fountain of Wealth to have a peek at the laser show and message dedications…

We headed to Toy’R'us, and that was when I decided to have some fun taking pictures with toys… Ok, am too old for these, but who cares Besides I am in a playful mood… Besides, Hendri prefers being the photographer than being the one in the pictures.

Hmm, settling down in Pizzahut… We settled upon the Jingle Jolly meal set for 2… and added in a side dish as well as a Chocolate Fondue…

Here are the food pictures…

Good ol’ Chicken soup… Which happened to be soup of the day as well…
