today went yih with frog to have our first ever guitar lesson!

i am learning guitar! like, finally? my guitar (which was a birthday present for my 15th birthday) is finally going to be learned by me! i am finally going to become an accomplished musician because i finally am going to know how to play TWO instruments! hooray! haha! on top of piano of course.

frog's name is now ROGER. haha! *inside joke*

i wish one day i can learn how to play YUI's songs!!!

btw, takahisa masuda is so cute! i think i like NewS more and more! but i still dislike KAT-TUN. haha. akanish jin is slightly better la. but i still no likes them.

k, damn shag now. got a lot of homework and studying havent do yet. gotta catch up with schoolwork. ta-ta.

so the story goes leik diz. for computing students taking cs1101(java lah) we have "lab" assignments, which basically means we have to write programs as an assignment, and submit it online through this thingamajig called CourseMarker, and it'll mysteriously grade your codes and instantly tell you roughly how you fared.

for this furst evar greyded labb assignment, there were two excrcises. one was a latitude-longitude checker and the other is a simple shopping cart program.

my furst encounter with the grading thingy went like this:

i submitted my latitude-longitude code and it gave me THIS!!!!

awesomely excellent!

i was so happy lah!

then i proceeded to submit my 2nd lab (the simple shopping cart thingy) and to my horror, it gave me this:
AVERAGE???!!!


so i went to act smart and "fix" my problem BUT! the thing is that the problem is not really solved! so i resubmit and it returned AVERAGE again. heng there is 15 tries. but now i panick! how do i fix this freaking problem so that it will give me my awesomely excellent???

then i turned to zongyaw the great. and he pointed out that the my problem is actually a careless mistake!
so careless that if i tell you you will fall off your chair.

therefore:



AWESOMELY EXCELLENT once more! *rounds of applause for the great Ore-sama!*

i just marathoned finish HanaYoriDango part 1. Inoue Mao (the girl acting as Makino Tsukushi) is damn cute la! what can i say! i still don't like MatsuJun. heeheehee. but i don't dislike him as much as i did last time. but the fact remains that i still do not like him! hahas

during CS1101Z lecture last thursday i found out on WIKIPEDIA that nino's new drama called Ryusei no Kizuna (of which he is starring alongside Nishikido Ryo of one litre of tears and Toda Erika the misamisa of deathnote) starts showing in Japan in october! WHICH MEANSSSSSS. SOON i'll get to watch it too! so excited so excited! i think i'd like to watch Maou too (the drama that Ohno is starring as main character in) but then it doesn't make me anticipate it so much as watching Ryusei!

well, me finding out all this in Wiki is weird huh? and me finding out during a lecture, you know i'm not paying attention! hahahahahahahhaa

and somehow i don't really look forward to Yattaman. Even if sho-chan is in it. i guess i just don't like the idea of yattaman? BUT we all know that i'll end up liking it BECAUSE my dear Sakurai Sho is in it. heehees.



I WANT TO WATCH HANA YORI DANGO FINAL! SHITDAMMITWHYAMISOFREAKINGBUSYTHATICANNOTWATCHIT!!!!!

please let me watch it before it goes off the screens!

btw i finished watcing The Vineyard Man. NICE! hahas.

today, was supposed to watch HanaDanF with pok and wei, then tix were SOLD OUT so we went shopping instead. AND I FREAKING BOUGHT A SHIRT. I FINALLY FREAKING FOUND A SHIRT THAT I LIKE AND CAN WEAR! so happy now.

so far programming has been really interesting for me. i think i've grown to LIKE java!

and i don't mind not being able to take aaron tan's cs1101x anymore. i think the dead slow pace of cs1101z really suits me a lot. because at times i will get distracted - either into my own world or getting engrossed in writing out the program for the next/next next example - i can randomly snap back into the lesson and STILL manage to catch up with what the lecturer is talking about! that is so WINS lah.

btw if you read till you mong cha cha, cs1101 is a module on programming methodology (but really they just tell you JAVA coding and ask you to memorise) and it is the most basic module that all SoC-ians have to take (except those zai poly ppl or some jc ppl who are exempted), and it is split into 3 groups,

cs1101x - for ppl with programming experience, and conducted by one of the BEST lecturers in SoC, mr Aaron Tan! (and i miserably got outbid for this module)
cs1101y - for the average joe, slower pace than cs1101x, for ppl with no experience
cs1101z - DEAD SLOW, for ppl with no programming experience and no confidence either!

also there is cs1101c, for computer engin, and cs1101s, which teaches both Java, AND SCHEME, two programming languages in one mod, that is crazy, i don't want to kill myself.

today i experienced my first ever tutorial that doesn't have yijia in it. i thought i would be alone, but it turned out not to be. same tutorial slot as Talgat (the kazaksthan - dunno how to spell la - guy from my FOW OG), AAAAAAAAAANNNNNND, my cs1101z tutorial teacher!!!!!! what a coincidence! hahaahhahahaha. he year 3 ma. teaching assistants (aka tutorial teachers) are students too, so it IS possible to be in the same tutorial as them. but still! so QIAO! haha

after that, went to YIH to meet up with frog for CAC Guitar Club audition. which didn't turn out too well, but we don't care! I SAW BABA OUTSIDE CSC CLUBROOM! aww, i kinda miss baba. she's running for CSC president against ALI! ali and baba for president. i wish baba would win, but we all know that ali is not easy to deal with either. though i dun wan to say this, ali would most probably win... baba jiayou okay!

went to eat mac with frog. otw home (on bus 96), somehow my Centre of Gravity was a bit off (ate too much mac, i guess?) and i kept falling over and squashing the ppl on my both sides. i am SO PAISEH! sorry leh, people on the bus.

some food for thought (darn, enough food la growing too fat alr)

do you usually give up the priority seats on the mrt/lrt to other people?

i mean, i 10% chance will give it up to others, but normally, to prevent myself from having to make that decision, i just don't sit on the priority seats. when i sit on those, i kinda feel guilty and all. BUT THEN HOR. i decided that i'm not going to make life so difficult for myself and feel so bad about myself. BECAUSE, even if you don't sit on it, SOME OTHER IDIOT will place his/her stupid butt on it. even when you already ask the elderly/disabled/pregnant/mother with child if she wants to sit or not. so i guess, on the whole mrt full of people, i am the only one who will actually feel guilty for sitting on it, the only one that will offer my seat to others, the only one who will, despite sitting on it, keep a lookout everytime the train reaches a station for people who might need the seat more than me.

therefore, i shall just sit my selfish butt on the priority seats and switch off my over-sensitive guilty conscience.

不是我要这样的 可是我真的累了

i shall try harder. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

today i TRIED to go shopping with pok and wei. i wanted to buy myself more clothes to wear to school. since i have a really limited amount of presentable clothes to wear outdoors. most of my wardrobe is made up of camp tees, pe shirts, you get the idea? well that's basically what i'm most comfortable in, so you can't exactly blame me for not having much of a fashion sense. and what makes it worse is that going to school is like going to a fashion parade! quite a few people (esp arts ppl) like to dress up like they're going to parties and such. well not all people are like that, but there are quite a few. and then there are the people who can dress up effortlessly. i envy them. and they are all very pretty lo. they should be thankful that their papa and mama passed down such good genes to them.  and everyone is so skinny!!!! it's hard not to feel inferior. i don't think i'm wrong to feel this way.

therefore the shopping! so ya, today i TRIED to go shopping with my two besties and note that i said TRY. because even though some of the clothes did catch my eye and i really was tempted to just buy them, you know, i just don't fit into them. i really DID try them on in the fitting room! those that didn't fit me, didn't fit me. those that fit me, just didn't look nice on me at all. and out of the many many pieces of clothes i chose, only one or two i could squeeze into. and guess what. those looked horrible on me.

i shall stick to my polo tees.

then as if my confidence isn't ruined enough, i bumped across this auntie wearing the same polo tee as me on the lrt. (does that mean my taste is that of an auntie's or what?)

i've got to stick to my diet, seriously! then perhaps one day i can wear pretty clothes just like everyone else on earth!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

while searching for info on nus kendo i came across the kendo sub-club president's blog. she thinks like me!

why is it that when a pint-sized girl acts cute, people say she is cute, but when a plus-sized girl does the same, people cringe in disgust?

why is it that when a pretty girl tries very hard to make friends with you, you'd say she is very sincere, but when an ugly girl does the same, you'd think she is despo?

why is that when a hunk/chio bu stalks you, you'd feel honoured, but when you're being stalked by an ugly person, it's eerie? (okay actually to me, any kind of stalking is eerie)

people are just so absorbed by looks and appearances (and i'm one of the victims.) ! but honestly, the same applies to me. (who dares say he/she isn't affected at all by the looks of anything?)

which is why i should stick to my quest to stick-thinness (okay maybe not that skinny, just try to be NOT overweight, which is what i am right now) because i need to make up for that ugly face of mine.


being ugly is enough. shan't add on to that by being fat.
