Justification Needed.

by

I still have  approximately 2 weeks left before school starts on Oct 17. The timetable would probably be out 1 week before school starts. Sigh. What made me really pissed off was that ITP wasn’t included  in cumulative GPA, which means that I’ve spent my 4 months getting an empty grade which does not contribute to my GPA.  The issue would probably be brought up in a dialogue session when school reopens again.

Seriously, this’s like engaging in a lawsuit. Such difference in ideologies always take a long time to reach an agreement, and may even drag till early 2012 when we would have already graduated. WE NEED JUSTIFICATION!! I never understood why the school made such a decision without informing us, the students,when they claimed that “ITP can boost our GPA. ” But it seems like only the DIT students were unhappy because the rest of the students seemed to be informed of this change long time ago and they sort of like “accept the fact already” so they are just doing nothing about it.

 I’m not that good in writing compared to the others. I’m not that eloquent either.  But .. sigh? Returning back to school with this kind of unsettled business?  And having scrapped off ITP in GPA means that we need to work harder for FYP.  We were told that “They have high expectations for FYP because there’ll be a grad show in early Mar”. Oh my gosh! I’m really desperate for good grades for my last semester in SP. ! I still want to go to university (even though I may not have a very good GPA) and the school just dampened our chances of going into the local universities when internship for other IT courses from other polys are included in their cumulative GPA.  

Actually I should have written this post long ago.  Sigh. 

Trouble, trouble, trouble

I haven’t been blogging much. I always wanted to blog but i’m just plain lazy to do so. But recently, i just felt that i need to blog here to actually sort my thoughts and reflect on what had happened because i feel that there’s simply too much grievances in me that i need a proper channel to do so. Blogging is not my priority, i just wanna blog because i want to procrastinate away from my assignments. Which spells for more : “Trouble, Trouble, trouble”.

Trouble, trouble, trouble

Recently assignments has been really an ASSHOLE. Why? It’s SICKENING AND FUSTRATING because i didn’t know how to do it. There isn’t much help from the lecturers and a lot of things have to be done by ourselves. And also, i somehow lost my motivation in this semester due to the modules. I dunno, I thought i would be interested in HOTM but.. somehow i just hate to study how the whole system runs.

So let’s see what i’ve for my remaining assignments? (In order of HATRED)

  • SAPP : Currently stucked at Part 2.  My Groupmate is a dude who’s a geek looking “uncle”. I dunno his exact age, but certainly he look so mature and intimidating for a young adult alright. He helped a lot for Part 1, and he seems like throwing all the responsibilies for Part 2 to me when the fact is that I’m not so good in Programming. Sigh, I don’t think I can complete it unless i know how to categorize the data. I’m practically doomed for SAPP WHEN IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT MODULE. And i’m so freaking stressed of this SAPP, because someone said they completed it already!
  • SDT : Need to draw Sequence diagram ><
  • HOTM :  Can only be done in school due to Intranet system). Classmate doing the configuration so i can only wait for further instructions
  • ECM :Did a bit, but felt that i do not have much information. I need to read the slides before deciding what to add on.
  • MPRG : Programming isn’t my forte like I’ve said, especially with a new programming language like PHP. I’m stuck at Question 3, and sometimes i really hate that lecturer because he’s like not answering to my question and his instructions are rather unclear.
  • GEMS : Quiz after Chinese New Year

I’m really not feeling the CNY mood lately. It sucks. You see sales everywhere and people talking about their new clothes and yet you’re too occupied with assignments. Life as a Poly student sucks. I wonder how ITP would be like. Hopefully I would be able to clear my assignments and exams and I’ll regain my freedom in Feb 28. Hwaiting!

3rd week of school.

by

What a depressing post i write with regards to my previous post..

The 3rd week of school has began. I swear i always hate Mondays, there’s always Monday blues for me.  Having lessons from 8.30am to 6pm is a little too crazy. In addition, Tues i’ve  GEMs on 8am too. So i was literally tired during the middle of the lesson and rested a while. Sigh.. and after that i’m copying down the answers for ECM tutorial and being in my own world once again.

With the news of whether i’ll be going for my ITP/FYP first to be out soon, I started to worry. Can i really survive? I don’t seem to attentive during lessons these days since lessons are so DRY. No matter what, I just hope that i’d be able to work and cooperate with whoever i’m being grouped to. I just hope that i’d be able to graduate successfully with peace. Ya.. it’s like what a selfish thinking, but it’s true for everyone.

Ahhhhhh Kpop music programs! I always have bad omen, despite having faith in my bias. Currently,we’re facing  a formidable force with loaded arrows. I’m so afraid that their umbrellas ain’t that strong to defend the recurring arrows. LOL! never mind if you don’t know what the hack i’m talking about. I’m just talking about their concept photos and the content in the songs. Other than Mnet’s M!Countdown, i don’t know if 2AM will win in Inkiyago,Music Bank and Music Core or not. *Pray hard*. I know they will, but they have lesser chance.  I think i’d be really sad but i have to accept the reality that Kpop dance tracks is still ruling in the Kpop world. Sigh, i hate the fact that sometimes talents are not justified by popularity, and that many people are shallow. Not everyone likes ballads, no taste? People who knows appreciate ballads know how to appreciate music. But nothing wrong with that though, because i also enjoy Kpop tracks. But i feel that ain’t these people bored or something? Don’t they need to listen to some melodious ballads for a breather or smth? Oh.. and if you’re thinking i may sound a little narcissistic  over here, I’m just bringing out my doubts that’s all.

I hope to hear some good news soon for everything. Not being either pessimistic or optimistic of everything, but to be armed with a armour being mentally prepared of unexpected events to be happening soon.

Till then, end of my rant.

Timetable is out!

by

SP is pretty efficient this time round by releasing the timetable for Semester 2 early.  Here it goes, my new timetable for AY 2010/2011 Semester 2. My new modules include : Systems Development Techniques (SDT), Mobile Programming (MPRG) , Hospitality and Tourism Management (HOTM), Smart Applications (SAPP) and Electronic Commerce and Marketing, plus GEMs which I’m going to choose a Wednesday slot because lessons on Monday ends on 6pm. Since I’m left with a GEMs from the Science and Technology cluster, I’m going to choose Psychology because it seems to be the only GEMs that interests me more.  I think I’m insane when i’ve the initial thought of pushing my GEMs into a 8-10am slot, but i think I shouldn’t do that because i’d be too tired by Monday’s lessons to even wake up at 6am+ in the morning. The only module that i think I’m gonna love is HOTM and ECM because they have nothing to do with IT. It’s not because i hate IT modules but i think I do well in Business related modules too, which has brought me a thought of perhaps, doing a Business related degree in the future after i leave SP.

This SUNDAY!! I’ve to check my GEMs appointment time on Tuesday, then Tuesday i must wake up earlier (in case i oversleep) to choose my GEMs! I don’t want to wait for the next appointment because.. by then all slots will be taken up (:

I’ll be writing a separate post on Kpop stuffs!! Til Then.
