Cruel Cruel Fate

I cannot believe this! Why does fate have to be so cruel? Why! The first time I took this subject, the coursework was as such:

Test 1 – 15%

Test 2 – 15%

Project – 10%

Final Exam – 60%


I did moderately well for the first test but I flunked the second one. As for the project, I had this sadistic lecturer who failed me without any valid reason. I tried to reason with him but it was pointless. I was so fed up as he would not even listen to any sound reason. How am I to plead my case if I am not even given a chance defend myself or make my point audible? He was so sloppy while marking the project and just rushed off to the next person without even properly ending the current presentation. It was all so confusing as nobody knew if their project was accepted or rejected. My presentation was on the last day, so you could very well imagine the chaos.

The second time I took this subject, the coursework was as such:

Test 1 – 20%

Test 2 – 20%

Final Exam – 60%

I was ecstatic! No project and above all, Mr. Sloppy Lecturer were not in charge of the subject. This time around though, I admit it was my own fault. I did not study for both the test and missed a few lectures and tutorials here and there. Yea, I brought this upon myself. I allowed my vehemence for the subject to overtake the fact that I needed to pass it in order to graduate. A lesson well learned.

So now, I am taking it for the third time and God willing, for the last time. Just so happens that the coursework is:

Test 1 – 15%

Test 2 – 15%

Project – 10%

Final Exam – 60%

The same as the first time I took it. But that’s not all, the real deep shock it that I have to cross paths once again with Mr. Sloppy Sadistic Lecturer.

The session I registered


The blasted announcement!

Believe me; I would have gladly changed my lecture section if I knew that he was going to be my lecturer. It is too late now as it is the third week and I have other subjects to be worried about as well. If only they posted this earlier. AH CRAP!

A Day At The Fish Spa

Dear readers, No doubt, you would have heard tons of fascinating things about the new craze in town: the fish spa. What you are going to find out in the next few minutes would probably change your perspective of this new and trendy relaxation method. Well, it sure freaked me out. It was a typical Sunday evening, when one of my cousins suggested that we try something different for a change rather than just bumming around and watching You Tube like a bunch of Internet junkies. She heard from her friend's cousin's friend's boyfriend's sister that there is a newly opened fish spa near our apartment. She even got a coupon for a 15 minute free session, which fitted very well into our budget. So, we decided to give it a try. The location of the shop was pretty shady but the proprietor (Miss R) seemed friendly enough. She was actually inspired to start the fish spa after watching some loc als in the jungles of the Amazon perform their yearly ritual to appease the pagan river g...

Artsy Wartsy

Dear readers, I must beg your pardon. This might be a sight of me that you have never seen. I was taken by a whim. Yes, I was overwhelmed by a sudden urge to draw that I offered to help my cousin design a birthday card for her friend. FOR FREE!! I must have been struck with temporary insanity. Front Inside Ah boy, I sure miss drawing! But I need a project ... hmmm ...

Hello Goodbye

I woke up at around 2 p.m. on Monday, feeling rather awful, having slept through my Multimedia Marketing class. It was a rejuvenating slumber though. Anyway, at around 6 in the evening, there was a knock on my room door. I was terrified! Can it be ... the long awaited hostel spot check? Maybe it is the warden, coming to warn me about the complaints she got of somebody singing "We are the champions" late into the night? How did they know it was me? I was about to open the door when I heard the key being inserted from the other side. The door opened to reveal .... MY NEW ROOMATE!!! I was shocked and she was stunned. After a moment of awkward silence, we regained our composure and introduced each other. I explained that it would be impossible for us to take in a third roomate because, as it is with just the 2 of us, the room is already congested. A third would be a catastrophe! A little bit dramatic perhaps but you would understand if you see my room. After listening to her s...
