Time flies, and my one-month term break will come to a close very soon. Sem 1 ended one month ago, with the closing of ferocious fight against 5 modules for 2 weeks. I was rather surprised how I managed to get through the hectic Sem 1, especially because of my core modules.
(1) ES2007S, one with 100% CAs;
(2) EE2005, EE2006, EE2009, these are the modules that annoyed me with experiments at the second half of Sem 1. The most worthy mentioned EE2006 had really annoyed me the most, as I couldn’t understand what it was about even though I cracked my head to try till “bleeding”;
(3) Taking 6 modules ain’t no joke, and I know my limit is probably 5 modules…well it is most probably because of ES2007S.
So, after that “Sem 1 Historical Ferocious Fight Against 5 Mods”, I took quite a long time to recover from my exhausted life. At that point, I made up my mind to run / jog around campus every morning, but until now, I only managed to run for about 10 times, starting from my day of vacation. Pretty slacking eh? Of course, not to mention that my movie outing event on 3rd Dec turned out to be quite fine. Thanks to those who turned up, and hope you all did enjoy the outing back then.
During this vacation,I have stayed back in S’pore for my hall’s commitment, Chingay + Dance and IHG Badminton. Thus far, I could say that joining Chingay (after rag experience) is really a good experience. As far as the float is concerned, it should be taken down after Rag Day, but since we have the winning ticket to go for Chingay Parade, our float is staying for another grand entry! I am really looking forward to the Chingay Parade in next year’s February. For IHG Badminton part, I’d say the stress is on me as I am one of the main players who strive to score point for the team. Frankly speaking, I can’t tell that Eusoff male Badminton team can even manage to pass through Semis. There were a lot of factors behind all of these, and what I can do is just do the best I can do. Hope all is well.
Talking about the release of result today, it is the same old story: expectation failed me once again. I did realize that the higher climb you get up to, the more serious the injury is when you fall. I aimed to get 2As (or 2B+s instead) in previous semester (Sem 1), but unexpectedly, I got an even worse grade for that 2 modules, pulling my grade down back to the same old grade as my AY09/10 Sem 1 CAP. To what extent I need to work hard in order to get the grade I desire? I am getting paralyzed of all these bad grades since last year’s Sem 2. I do know that there are a lot of smart people out there, outclassing me and getting improved everyday. I am still going in a slower pace, no matter how much I catch up, I still can’t grasp hold of the knowledge I desire. Being a future-to-be computer engineer, I do know that master a programming language is the most crucial task. I guess I should start to work more on my programming language instead of other non-trivial stuff when I am back home on 23rd Dec. Thus far, I have not gotten any grade better than B, nor any grade worse than D+. Next semester shall work harder and smarter?
Tomorrow is 冬至, it should be the day when all family members gather around and have a nice dinner, a kind of reunion symbol. It was 5 and a half months ago since I went home. I shall cherish the moments with family in this coming going-back-Ipoh trip.
Wish you all 冬至快乐，and an early wish of Merry Christmas. Have a nice day ahead.
This is my world ... where I pour my feelings into.
