Beauty & The Beast

<$BlogDateHeaderDate$>

Ok. Today I didn't go to school at all. Reason being? L.A.Z.Y. I seriously find it worthless to wake up so early in the morning and travel so far for just 1 FREAKING HOUR of lecture. -.- So I slept at home but woke up accidentally when my brother called me up, informing me about his JAE results. I was pissed when I heard about what he said about the JAE posting results thing.

Imagine this. He applied for the courses that appeared on his course slip. If the courses appear on his course slip, then that means to say that he is eligible for those courses correct? Well. Apparently, he got NOTHING. As in his JAE posting was unsuccessful so they didn't post him to any school at all despite the fact that he applied for the courses that appeared on his course slip.

Even back when I repeated my Secondary 5 school year and retook my O Levels and I received my results and the course slip, I saw Mass Communications listed as one of the many courses that I was so-called 'eligible' for in my course slip and boy! Was I happy or what when I saw that. I applied for that course as my first choice and other media related courses in NP and one of them was a relatively new course, which had no COP at that point in time.

JAE posting results came out and I got Creative Media Design at SP (I appealed for Interior Design after that and got it). I traveled all the way to NP to appeal for Mass Communications only to have them send me a reply via letter a few days later that my appeal was unsuccessful as I did not meet their COP for Mass Communications. I was like 'FUCK YOU la you mother fucken JAE system! What's the fucking point of putting Mass Communications as one of the MANY courses I was so-called eligible for on my course slip and give me false hopes, only to have that particular school tell me that my appeal for that course is rejected just because I didn't meet their COP?! WTF?!'

I got tricked is ok. But now, even my own younger brother fell pray to that mother fucking deluding course slip cuz he thought that he was eligible for all those courses that appeared on his course slip only to have his JAE posting shit UNSUCCESSFUL simply cuz he didn't the COP for those very courses that were listed down on his course slip. God! Screwed up system!

All that aside. Over the weekends, from Friday till Sunday, I played pool with my younger brother, my older sister, my brother-in-law, my best friend and my friend. 3 straight days. Hahaha!

Monday, had a staff meeting at Haagen Daaz after school. Proceeded to SC to slack with some of the Fuckers clique (Lame, Ray, Wan & Ful)

Tuesday, stayed back in school after it ended to prepare my HTI powerpoint presentation slides for tomorrow's HTI presentation.

Today, doing my IDR drawings at home together with the touching up of my slides and the preparation of my script for tomorrow, which I've already done so. Going to catch my younger brother and his band jamming later. (:

P.S: Future O level students. Course slips are DELUDING.

Hey! Having my HTI lecture now.

Anyways, I finally managed to hang out with my Fuckers clique at SC for the past 2 nights. I went back home first from school to shower and eat my dinner before heading down to SC to hang out with them while doing my numerous assignments at the same time.

Oh well. I wanna get back to my lecture and my other assignments.

P.S: Busy.

I have had enough. I'm telling you.

For 2 weekends in a row, I was stuck at home. I didn't go out. I didn't go to my favorite weekend haunts. I didn't spend time with my friends. Instead, what I did for 2 bloody weekends in a row was staying at home from Friday to Sunday, doing nothing but chionging my freaking ass off for that Tetris unit and the complex structure within. You ask me why? Cuz I had to redo the bloody model + structure within like 4 freaking times! Done it, redid it the second time round due to wrong measurements, redid the thing again 2 more times cuz it kept on collapsing for God knows what reason despite the fact that I've glued the entire thing tightly. Freaking irritating I tell you!

SD is no longer robbing me of my weekends. It's bad enough that we had to do a holiday assignment over the Christmas and New Year holidays when plans have specifically been made and made me feel guilty whenever I was enjoying myself. Now, my weekends are being taken away too? No way.

I've made up my mind. I'm gonna chiong my ass off for all of my remaining Term 4 assignments from Mondays to Saturdays. Every Sunday is my freaking off day. No school, no work, no assignments. Just time for me to kick back, relax and enjoy my only day off by either hanging out with my friends, whom I've neglected due to school, or just spend some me time.

P.S: Enough said.

I'm feeling lousy and miserable. Why?

CUZ I'M S.I.C.K. YES I IZ!

Started off with a sore throat early this week. By Wednesday night, the fever, flu, blocked and runny nose came in full force. Today, the coughing and the headaches started. I've never felt this weak physically before in my life. I slept in the MRT on my way to school. I slept in the studio during lunch. I slept in the MRT and bus on the way home. When I reached home, I slept all the way from 8 to 10.30 and woke up just in the nick of time to catch American Idol. Now, I'm currently putting the final touches on my Tetris Unit before starting on the complex structure within later on in the day.

I'm taking an MC from work today. Reason being? Firstly, I'm still sick and sneezing like nobody's business, and since I'm working in the F&b industry, it's considered unhygienic. What happens if I'm serving the food and I sneeze into it? EWWW! Secondly, I need to finish up my complex structure for my Tetris unit as Monday is the submission and I also need to get started on my other ASS-ignments.

P.S: Busy Busy Busy. Can't wait for school to be over.

My 300th post! Wee~

Anyway, guess what? I painstakingly rebuilt my model for the weekend only to have collapse and fall flat on me on Monday when submission's on the same day. -.- I rebuilt the entire thing in class for the SECOND time and left it overnight and when I came back to school today, my model collapsed AGAIN. Damn fucking cibai la! I strengthened the structure with thicker beams and columns and glued it tightly only to have it collapse 3 times in a row?! Waste my fucking time.

Chill bro. I'm redoing again and this time round, I'm installing MORE beams. If it falls again, I will seriously scream and rip that bloody thing apart.

Moving on.

Sunday, I slacked with my best friend and my bros at my crib. Monday night, I slacked with my friend near the bus stop. For today, I skipped IDC just to give my friends a tour of SP.

Dala. I wanna go back to my model. Another sleepless night. -.-

Yesterday was by far the best day in 2010. Today, however, wasn't exactly a good day. It's always that way la. Not only for me but for my other close friends as well. We have one thing in common. When one day's fucked up, the next will be better and vice versa. You can't have too much of a good thing in life nor can you have too much of a bad thing.

Anyways, I don't wish to talk about what happened earlier today. But one thing I do know for sure is that since 2008 was a great and fantastic year and 2009 was a downhill one, 2010 will definitely be better for me. It's still early in 2010 and already, I had a fantastic day yesterday. More good things will come.

P.S: Brighter future

Yesterday was my first official day of working at Haagen Daaz. It was pretty much ok and fun. The concept of serving and attending to the customers was almost similar to the other F&B outlets I worked at before.

Anyways, I rushed down to NYP after work together with Kakak Rina and Abang Khairul to catch Adek Khairil and his band, DROPBEAT HEARTBEAT, perform as they got into the finals of NYP JAMS! His bandmates were all very friendly, sociable and receptive I must say. And guess what? THEY CAME IN SECOND! WOOTS! I'm damn proud of my lil brother!

My family's going overseas tomorrow and they won't be back in Singapore till next week. Anyone wanna crash over at my crib?

P.S: Proud. I love you la bro. (:

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been busy lately. Anyway, here's the breakdown.

I spent the weekends crashing over at Adek Khairil's place. Had fun. (:

Monday was the start of the final stretch of school for me as a Year 1 student. It was pretty much ok. As our IDS crit was on a Thursday, we ended school early. I slacked with the DID clique before hanging out with the DCMD kids at Bugis.

Tuesday, James' IDR assignment for the term has been released. We're expected to draw the plan, elevation, section, axonometric and detail drawings of our Tetris unit WITH the complex structure within. I've got no clue whether we're supposed to follow the plans as given to us in Term 3 or whether we're supposed to figure out our own measurements and draw it out but I do know that we have to draw it out according to the 1:20 scale. I'll wait for James to upload the slides onto Blackboard. IDC wise was ok. I was pretty damn slow in doing the 3D Max trial test. And guess what? XDM's being shifted on alternate weeks. On odd weeks (9, 11 and 13), we will have an XDM mass lecture from 3.30 to 5 in MLT1. Means I will have 4 1/2 hours of break before the mass lecture starts. On even weeks (10, 12 and 14), we will have our XDM lesson as per normal on Thursdays; same time, same place.

Wednesday. HTI lecture as per normal. It was interesting. Started my training at Haagen Daaz at CP from 4 - 5.30. The training was more theorical based rather than practical based. We had to learn the acronyms and the policy and shit.

Today I had my crit session for IDS. It's super unfair that Elaine said 'Yours is the worst model I've ever seen'. That was like a tight slap right across my face. I was like thinking 'You haven't even seen the entire class's model YET. You haven't seen Kelly's model yet. Kelly's model literally FELL APART the moment she stepped into class and you still say that mine's the worst model all cuz it was slanted, the columns and beams were not to scale and also cuz of my Term 1 work?!'

I'm not pissed at all cuz I know it was my fault. I misread the measurements and did the model wrongly. But your comments about my model being the WORST one you've ever seen was totally uncalled for. Oh well. I'll redo the wrong parts and prove you W.R.O.N.G.

Tomorrow's my first official day of working. After that, I'm heading down to NYP to catch my younger brother, Adek Khairil, and his band performing at NYP Jams! They got into the finals!

~Congrats lil brother!~

3 days to finish rebuilding the model. Can I do it? YES!

P.S: Unfair

2009 is officially DEAD AND GONE! *Plays T.I's Ft J.T's Dead and Gone*

Am I happy that it's gone? YES! A HUGE EFFING YES! 2009 hasn't really been a good year for me, what with all the turmoil, drama, saga, the fights, quarrels, the loss of a most beloved and treasured friendship, which I know can never ever be reconciled back again, (I still miss you you know that. I really do), the politics and the unfair consequences, I'm pretty glad that 2009 went out the door.

Yes. 2009 was where my ego, attitude and temper resurfaced again after being on hiatus for around a year. Most of the shitty incidents that took place this year were mostly my fault and I realized that. Like what Kaz stated on her blog, all of these are lessons learned the hard way. We pick the rotten apple, take a bite out of it, suffer the consequences of our actions, throw it away and dig through the basket to search for a good apple.

Now that 2010 is already in the house, I've made around say 5 resolutions and I'm hoping that I can stick to them. InsyaAllah I can. It may not be easy cuz of the fact that these resolutions are related to the bad habits that have been cultivated in me for years but it's not impossible either. I just have to discipline myself and constantly remind myself of the better and brighter future that will follow suit if I manage to stick to my resolutions. Besides, I'm not getting any younger by the day so if I don't change now, then when will I change? And it will be my future at stake.

In 2009, I met a whole new bunch of awesome people. S.D clique, GYLC clique, NNK clique, thus adding on to my already huge list of awesome close friends, being the FCX peepos(which includes my best friend, Tun, and my younger brother, Adek Khairil, both of whom worked together with me at FCX) and the FUCKERS. You guys have been real great. Whenever I'm hanging out with either one of you cliques, you guys never fail to make me laugh and to forget about the bad day I was having. We would laugh over the lamest of things and just joke about it. I love each and everyone of you guys la!

S.D

GYLC

Fuckers(Not everyone's there)

NNK

FCX

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HOPE 2010 WILL BE A BETTER AND BRIGHTER YEAR!
