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!

Holiday Humbug

Dear readers, Yes ... it is that time of the year again, where enterprising businessmen take advantage of unsuspecting holiday makers with silly trinkets and bogus sales. Christmas deco at the Curve It is sad how commercialized Christmas has become, with the whole Santa Clause gimmick. Well, I know for certain that he is just a fat guy in a suit. Just so you know, Christmas is about Jesus Christ and Him alone. Anyway, I was going through the internet and found this article about the origin of "the angel" on top of the christmas tree that I thought would make quite an interesting convesation during parties, aside from the weather of course. Enjoy! The Angel Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got sick and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the sick elves. Santa was begiining to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Clause told Santa that her mum was go...

I'M BACK!!!

Whoa ... I can't believe my last post was in 2006! A lot has happened since, some pleasant and well some downright nasty. I have finally passed my Computer Networks. Take that Mr. Sloppy Sadistic Lecturer! Ka -Pow! I got a job too, surprisingly, considering I just went for the interview dressed in a kurtha top and army pants, not forgetting the flip flops. What can I say... they must have been desperate to hire people! The job has been challenging so far but thoroughly interesting, so I can't really complain. Who would have thought that being a computer programmer can be addictive. Yes I am a workaholic. I have grown much in the relationship side of things as well. One important lesson learnt; people are highly unpredictable and as for loyalty and honour, the definition truly defers according to individuals and situations. I think its wise to keep your opinions of others only between you and God. Trust is a fragile thing. Once broken, you can never gain it back. As for resp...
