the beginning to the end? or the end to the beginning?

okay.. i finally finished my dreaded exams today... but the problem is.. i am not feeling happy at all. In fact, i feel quite bad....I think its all because of 305 . Everyone said it was easy except for me. Well basically its all my fault lah.. i spend 4 days on the super not important stuff and only 1 day on all the important stuff. Actually i did not realised tt the not important stuff are not important until this morn. sigh.. anyway.. the paper was basically throwing everything in the textbook and notes back to him. Which includes tiny prints..... But.. there are a hell lot of stuff to remember and i have a bad memory that is getting worst. I probably forgot like 70% of the stuff that i remember. The remaining 10% that i remembered came from vague memories from JC stuff and only 20% came from uni notes. What's wrong with them? why cant they jus give us MCQ?? i rather do tt anytime than 20 5 marks questions anytime!!

304 was even worst. But i felt better when i came out of the hall coz everyone felt the same as me... sigh... there was actually THREE phylogenetics questions and the last one was an exact replica of last year's and our tutorial this year. But the problem is, no one knows how to solve that question coz its not found in our notes even though our lecturer insists that it is and refuses to give us answer. He probably jus pure lazy..... Anyway, i jus hope that the answer my friend found is correct. And i even had sleeping beauty in my paper. He actually asked us to calculate the number of F0 and F3 generations required to detect a particular protein. WTH.... never teach in class loh.. NO ONE has EVER taught us how to calcualte such stuff. I thought they are supposed to modulate the papers? How can they allow such questions to get through? What on earth are they doing... getting more and more irritated with NTU each day..... if anyone found out how to do that question.. please let me know coz i am very curious...

so.. turns out that my most longed end to everything is probably the beginning to something worse...

anyway.... in 6 more hours, i will be leaving for penang. haha... very fast right? I am going for holiday with my family. Din want to go coz i jus finished exams and i really want to sleep and slack. But my uncle cannot go so my family din want to waste the vacanies so got my siblings and me to go loh. A lot of ppl want me to buy hor fan and laksa loh.. wah lau... see how lah.. haha.... But I will take lotsa photos and show you guys when i am back.. hehe.. a bit excited about the trip...

Penang! here i come..

weekend = blog time

this time next week i will be M'sia enjoying my holidays!!! yeah!! i am so looking forward to it..2 more papers cleared and 2 more to come. I will be free on the 24th at 12noon when the invigilator says stop writing.. woohoo!!!

anyway.. some updates abt my papers first... anyway.. side-track a bit first. coz i tot it was quite funny. Yesterday my dad asked me wat paper i taking tmr(which is today) den i dunno how to explain. How do you tell him principles and methods of structural biology? So i told him Maths paper since its rather near the truth as 303 got a lot of maths. Den he asked yesterday leh? Hmmm... i oso dunno how to tell him read research papers. Since its like english so i told him eng paper. Den he very funny.. coz he said.. den monday leh? chinese ah? haha.. i tot it was so funny coz i felt like a pri sch kid.. having eng and maths papers.. anyway.. back to the topic.

302: Research Seminars

this module basically teach us how to write and read research papers. so for the exam paper, we are supposed to read a paper and ans questions. We got to write an abstract in 100 words, a title (usually less than 10 words lah) and some comments in under 200 words regarding the contribution of the findings of this paper. The second part of the paper is some english and grammer questions which were all give-aways. Anyway.. the sian thing is that my lecturer, who's a very nice person, was super generous with marks. Effectively, i got 70 marks for writing abt 300 words. Coz abstract was 30 marks, comments 30 marks and title 10 marks. Hope he will be a nice person and give me good grades.

303: Maths paper essentially.

This module is very irritating coz it made me dug up all my maths stuff. Like complex numbers, integration and trigo. But.. his paper was alright lah. The maths part was quite okay. I think should be all correct. But the theory part was quite bad. I dun really know how to explain. sigh.. and MCQs are worth like 3 marks each. And NMR took up 30 marks when he only got 2 lectures. Wah lau.... hope i can score.. i need an A... desperately...

anyway.. i got 2 more papers... genetics and plants. All need my brain space coz got a lot of memorising.. esp plant.. felt like microbiology. I hope can do well.. i have a bad feeling abt genetics... sigh...

Paper number 1

today's my first paper and i am so happy that it is over. really a load off my shoulder....

A can score paper but i jus forgot my stuff when i got in. Its not a mental block. Jus simple cannot remember.

I know ppl are gg to kill me but i am going to say this. Klaus is a nice guy. He so 仁慈. He never killed us with the paper. He really cannot teach but at least he gave a lot of tips...

Sigh... but dun think can get A... i forgot a lot of stuff when i am in.. sigh.. anyway.. i think should not be very bad. At least i felt good when i got out from the exam hall. Unlike 208. Now klaus has moved 2 rungs up my hate-lecturers list. WN still remain at the bottom most, followed by KY.

post 170

neurobiology exam on monday. and i slept half of today away. wat on earth is wrong with me? i cannot seem to study at home without falling asleep now. should have jus picked up my books and get out of the house.

and now i am sitting in front of the computer bloggin when i should be trying hard to finish my work.. i am getting so lazy.. got things to blog along the week but jus too lazy to use my brains.. shall update when i am feeling more hardworking....

bored dead....

this is wat happen when you are so bored.....

Okay.. this is how my table will look like when i am studying.. its obvious studying is not much in progress.. coz if studying is in progress, textbook on the left, notes on the right.... At the moment, textbook is still in front.. haha... and the piece of paper is plain.. means i haven started making notes yet...

This is how my table looks like in the middle of revision. Pens strewn all over, textbook on left, cup of drink on the table and the notes making in progress. Currently i am at brain metabolism. Lect 3 of 301. And since i do things chronologically, i am very dead.. sigh....

These are my 宝贝 pens... I used to tell ppl that pens are my life and whenever i feel unhappy, buying pens always help. haha... a cheaper kind of retail therapy..

My dad left the knife on the duck to look for something to add weight coz its took tough to chop. Looks pretty gruesome right? haha. and the head was put back by my dad to take the photo...

This is the result of ultimate boredom... hz dunno why sent an origami instructions to make a tortise. Being an origami fan and at the brim of ultimate boredom, i decided to try making it. Looks a bit weird though and i had a very hard time figuring out how to make coz the instructions are not clear enough. Anyway, i believe with more practise, it will look better.. haha..

Okay.. time to go back to my books....

games and revision always seem to come together...

i hate revision! and i hate exams! and i hate it when i get addicted to games right in the middle of exams! argh!!

anyway, introduce 2 games to you guys...('o') den u all can get addicted with me...
