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!

Pride & Prejudice

Finally, Pride and Prejudice on the big screen! My all time favorite Jane Austen novel. No doubt that there would have been older remakes, both movies and dramas but a newer version is always welcomed. They have been other Austen movies on the big screen as well, namely, Emma, Sense & Sensibility and Mansfield Park. Personally, Emma was adapted well into a screenplay but Sense & Sensibility was a flop. The book itself, to begin with, lacked some personality and that impeccable Austen humour evident in her other books. Pride and Prejudice has a set of well developed characters especially the two main characters Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. There was a mini series in 1995 if I am not mistaken, with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. He played the role superbly well, potraying Mr Darcy as a cold, insensitive and arrogant man. He is actually a pretty nice guy but only around his family and close friends. An encounter with Miss Bennet however, opened his eyes to the flaws ...
