Ironic, isn't it?

The end of one thing leads to the beginning of another.
Stuff like this can happen to friends.

Come on man !!!

aching shoulders

Squeeze my right shoulder, and I'll SCREAM !!!

This morning I woke up with my shoulders aching, particularly the right one.
I don't know why......
But it hurts alot.

So the whole day I was trying to control the pain, and ended up lazing around.
Not studying...

Starting tomorrow will be fine. I still have the whole of Monday.
Down this last paper, and I'm free.
For the next 1.5 months !

a sigh of relief

I
can
finally
breathe

The semester can be called 'OVER'. Apart from two more exam papers.
I just submitted my AMP report. The last one!
It was late by 30 minutes, due to all my efforts beautifying the Word Document.
It does look like a professional report.
HAHA !

I'm looking forward to the holidays now, where I can do more things.
Exams shouldn't be a problem to me, since I'll have sufficient time to prepare for them.
I hope so, yeah. Sufficient time.

"God, I pray. Give me the strength to study and not to be lazy.
I want to glorify YOU with my results."

Actually the grades isn't that important. I just want to feel satisfied having to complete everything and it's my efforts that will count, really.
Process is greater than Product.


I am going to miss Mum and Dad.
Both of them are in Indonesia now. Enjoying Valentine's Day, I supposed !

Heat-seeking

I've definitely become more confident in my driving skills!
Went for a spin in the circuit for the first time today.

Tried out the crank course, S-course, directional change, uphill driving, vertical & parallel parking. Really had a good time learning. At first I didn't know that the speed inside the circuit had to be kept low. So I increased to almost 40 !

Gotten a nag by my instructor for that !!!

He said I was a good driver, but I don't listen to instructions. And I can become too over-confident.
Well, he's right. I have my flaws. Which I need to put the sharp-edged sword at.

The conversation we had was quite funny. Oh yeah, it's in Chinese.
(During the S-Course driving)
ME: "Aiya! 这个 narrow course 很容易啦 !"
Instructor: "容易？容易你就自己try 吧! 我不会跟你讲。"
ME: "Okay, 我 try."
Instructor: (HAHA!)

I managed to complete the S-Course without a problem！

ME: "你看！"
Instructor: "哇！你驾车真的不错！但是有个问题。" (Talking about my recklessness)
ME: "我知道啊。But 我会用脑想的。眼睛看路。我爸爸有跟我这样讲过。"
Instructor: "你爸爸？Then 你爸爸有没有跟你说要听老师的话？！"

LOL ! I tried answering his 'question', but he went on to talked about being too over-confident and all the other stuff I need to know.

Driving isn't easy. Takes discipline, responsibility and care. Alot of care!
No problem, I think. Should be fine. I just need to continue possessing all these.
I really want to get my license quick. Even though without a car. The ability to drive is just some 'freedom' in my life!

Lesson learnt

Location: OurSpace
Action: Blogging
Reason: Just pissed, and disappointed

I paid about $18 on my cab fare, just to come to school for a presentation.
Why was I late?
I had to finish up the last bit of my AMP2 project slides.
THE IMPORTANT BIT

In the end, my group didn't have much time to cover up everything.
ESPECIALLY MY PART.
THE CRUCIAL PART.

SHIT !!!

My heart was filled with anger, sadness and confusion.
It could be because too much time was spent on the earlier slides.
I persuaded Dr. M to listen to my last part, saying I would be quick.
HE SAID "NO!"

Lesson learnt here:
Do not finish my work in the last minute, so there is enough time to plan and rehearse the presentation.

We (my group) were merely doing up only our own part, therefore we didn't even manage to help each other when Dr. M bombarded us with questions.

SIGH !

It's all over anyway.
AND I WON'T BE POINTING FINGERS.
'Cause I have faults too.

Shall just end it off with a smile. =)
And ponder on the brighter side:
"Your introduction was good. Started out well. Very professionally done!"
Said Dr. M.

At least I discovered my strength here, and displayed it.
SPEAKING !

A little ironic, eh?

Concentration

These are now wise words from Dad.
Or rather, only ONE word.

CONCENTRATION

He didn't just tell me about it. He has been reminding me of it.
To always always focus.

Guess I'll be training myself to concentrate in whatever things I'm doing.
I really need it.
Especially for me, who is always defeated badly by distraction.

These few weeks are going to be super duper uber hectic!
* Project deadlines.
* Presentations.
* Tests.
* Exams.

I really cannot wait for everything to be over.

Thank You

THANKS to N340 for the lovely gift !
I really gotten what I wanted.
A SCARF !
Woohoo! =D

And THANKS to Yiu for the street jazz lesson.
I really learnt alot from him.
He's such an awesome dancer, and he teaches really well too.
The $30 I invested for an overseas dance knowledge was worth it!
Had a good time!

Tips from the man:
* Practice
* Take classes and keep learning
* Listen to ALOT of music
* Discover your strengths
