Congrats to me, I managed to screw up both my math and chemistry. This is the second time I screwed my math and I think it is about time to consider spending serious time doing the math tutorials. But, on the bright side, I think I did well for economics and physics, so I suppose they will balance out the bad grades. AND, the exams are finally over, so it’s time for a short break from studying. Oh, and I am sorry for the server downtime a few days ago.
Some of you might be glad to know, I am continuing development of ALS v0.03B. New features to look out for in the next release:
AJAX Functionality!
Development Functions for developers
Download Protection
And of course, fully integrated themes and languages
As you can see, that’s quite a lot of features, so please be patient as I work on the script. I might release an update once in a while for you all to take a sneak peek at how development’s going.
Oh, and music of the week: The Blues by Switchfoot in their album Nothing is Sound
Off-topic: Wall-E is a very cute and touching movie. Definitely one of the best by Pixar. Of course, all the Mac references helped as well.
It’s amazing how time can pass so fast and yet seem so slow. Life’s a drag in school these days, I have given up listening to revision lectures that try to cover a year’s worth of content in like 3 hours in all. But on a bright note, today was the last “official” day of school, so we had our last lectures today.
While the lectures sure seem like slow moving dreams, the days never passed by any faster. From 40+ days since I had a countdown timer on my Mac, it’s now down to 4 days before our first paper. Somehow, this is the first time I actually feel unconfident about the exams even though I am quite sure I prepared myself quite adequately for it. Maybe it’s the very thought of sitting for long draggy papers that last about 3 hours each with almost no break in between.
The very thought of the exams ending brings joy to my heart. Both fortunately and unfortunately, it’s dragged over 9 days. Fortunate in the sense I get more time to revise for the later papers, Maths and Physics, unfortunate in the sense that it’s a few extra days of agony. And all my papers are morning papers, so that’s a bad thing as well.
But after exams life is sure something to look forward to. For one, it’s been a long time since I went cycling or running. If I am lucky, I might just fly to Australia in late October as well. Then in november I have my attachment, and I am flying off to Shanghai in mid December to attend my cousin’s wedding. And then of course there is always the usual gang to hang out with.
Time to sleep to prepare for another day of studying tomorrow. So,
Till next time,
cheers
First heard the title line in Mr and Mrs Smith. Thought it’s quite cool.
Really, there isn’t nothing much to celebrate. I have the bleakest outlook on my life ever.
I am waiting for the 2.1 iPhone jailbreak before upgrading. Come on, iPhone Dev Team, do us proud.
UPDATE: just as I am writing this post, the dev team came up with the latest version of Pwnage tool! Now I will just wait till the update is online!
UPDATE 2: I got the latest versions of the tools. Now I am upgrading my firmware and waiting for my phone to finish backing up. Which is going to like take forever.
My college Year One promotional exams starts in a little more than 2 weeks, and that sucks big time. And I fell sick in the middle of the holiday week - with high fever - and that wasted half of my holidays and screwed my study plan. But I am now back on track (I think, I hope) and with luck (I will probably need quite a bit), I might achieve my target of getting at least 3As.
But the hardest thing is probably pushing myself to study. The same thing happened during blocks - a nicely planned schedule gone to waste because I don’t have self-discipline. End result? A screwed up block test result slip. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN.
