15 things I love about WKWSCI

1. MO. Isn't that obvious?
2. Professors who speak audible and comprehensible English.
3. Lecturers who recognise us even though they taught us for 1 semester only.
4. Knowing almost everyone in your cohort, and more.
5. CS bench area where everyone gathers.
6. Caring admin staff. (Super thanks to Ms. Susan Lai, even though she's gone! And Ms. I-forgot-who for emailing her concern over my double major!)
7. Technicians who're always there for us. (I HEART 大朋友!)
8. Our blue building with all the facilities we need. Well, almost all.
9. The lift, even though we're only 5 storeys high.
10. Free printing.
11. Power sockets under every LT seat.
12. A green, instead of a grey LT.
13. Rooftop. Class, casual, cool - all rolled into one at the rooftop.
14. Clean toilets.
15. Having more than 15 things I love and not being able to list them all.

Happy 15th Birthday to SCI (or now WKWSCI)!

I Survived

I survived the lack of sleep for the past 3 weeks.

I survived the projects and deadlines. And I think I survived them well.

I survived the mixed feelings and massive amount of emotions that swirl in me during this 3 weeks.

What doesn't kill only makes you stronger. How true is this; I feel so much more contented, like I've grown so much, learnt so much.

Tuesday was MO's last lesson with us! *sob* How... I need motivation for statistics class. I don't wanna sit in the front row now that he's gone! 2 weeks later, he'll be coming in with a NEW TUTOR (whom I doubt will be as charming as MO. How can anyone be any more charming?). That will be the last time he's coming in for class!

*sweat* I must find ways to contact him! Act stupid, bombard his email with questions! Argh... anything!

小胖与石头的故事 - Part 1

从前，有个小孩叫小胖。不，他并不胖。他只是有一点小缺陷，就有如胖子有身形上的缺陷一样。

有一天，小胖在森林里郊游。走着走着，他累了。

小胖停下脚步，在一颗树下的石头休息。因为太累了，他睡着了...

Yipee!

Hohoho... This is the first time in 2 weeks that I sleep more than 5 hours!

*This is totally random. I'm going back to work on all those never ending stuff.*

P.S. I'm going CHINA! Yipee!

Focus Group Discussion

Hi friends, foes and strangers!

I am conducting an academic research study on the posting behavior of STOMPers.

Focus group discussions will be held... the sessions are as follows:

6th September, Thursday, 7-9 p.m. at NTU WKWSCI focus group room

and

8th September, Saturday, tentatively 3.30-5.30 p.m. at Chinatown area.

It's a great chance for you (or your friend) to interact with fellow STOMPers and chat about STOMP. Not only is it an enriching experience for you, you get to know more about how a focus group is conducted!

If you are a STOMPer, or if you know someone who posts on STOMP Talkback, please do not hesitate and contact me now!

P.S. Light refreshments will be provided.

Motivation

It's out of my grasp, once things start piling up.

I feel like I'm on a mission to dig 111 holes. I start digging at one, think of the other 110 that I have yet to start, skip over to another patch to dig, think of the other holes I have yet to dig AND the one I have yet to complete, and skip yet to another... to another... to another...

It's never ending. I'm glad I took only 5 subjects, 19 AUs this semester. But I'm hardly breathing normally. I feel like I have yet to learn anything new. I'm simply completing the mindless tasks thrown upon me.

CS 302 - Statistics and Data Analysis (Saved by sexy MO, who is leaving soon. I doubt the Korean can beat MO in the hot factor.)

CS 334 - Communication Campaigns (Need to contact SWATCH, need to do research, but not the true, actual, rigorous type. I have no idea what I'm doing, and I feel stressed. 'Cos I like to know what's happening, where we are going, with no sub-standard work. Mediocrity is just not my cup of tea.)

CS 341- Audience Research Methods (Seems like I find fault with everything. Am I just being a silly perfectionist, or is there something wrong? I remind myself to be tactful, but yet I can't leave possible mistakes hanging without voicing them out. And for once, nobody seems to get what I'm trying to say.)

CS 348 - Media Economics (The class is supposed to be interesting, but Fu treats as like fools. All I can do is nod vigorously in class.)

HS 812 - Emotions in Everyday Life (This happens to be the class I really look forward to every week, simply because the lecturer plays nice video clips.)

It doesn't help that the starting of all the projects are extremely crucial. It doesn't help that I have difficulty handing down my stuff for the clubs (probably only in September). It doesn't help that making money is always at the back of my head.

It will help if I have more time, maybe 40 hours a day. It will help if most things can be done individually (unfortunately, they are not). And they says it will help if I tell others my problems (which I wouldn't, unless asked).

Last semester was one great semester out of SCI. I learnt LOADS. All the economics make me feel... satisfied, fulfilled. Like when you just have a wonderful meal, you know?

This semester back at SCI is totally different. I think it's more character building than anything else. It's like an emotional roller coaster ride; plunging without knowing where it ends, climbing without seeing the peak.

But what doesn't kill only makes you stronger right? After all, all roller coaster rides end at the station, leaving you feeling exhilarated.

I will survive.
