Chapter 21
Friday, March 09, 2012
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe some congratulations are in order. I have managed to survive this week, unfortunately at the cost of lack of sleep causing me to oversleep and miss two morning lectures. Sigh. =X Not intentional, I promise! I have managed to do my interim presentation to the company and also banged out V2.0 of my mobile app to show today. 4 hours of photoshopping last night till 430am. But, all is not over yet.
That's why I don't use silly terms like Hell Week. Pffft. It would be so hard to keep track of how many there were. Complain so much for what anyway? You're better off spending your time doing work. Pshhh. Do le then it's over.
Over the weekend I have to:
1) attend a design event on Saturday,
2)group discussion after,
3)and then celebrate my mom's birthday on Sunday.
4)Also need to fit in time to sketch stuff for my biz module,
5)do up graphics (brochure storyboard etc),
6)then discuss further for Tuesday studio and show more development,
7)do up a nicer app for Thursday
8)oh one more thing, study for my midterm on Tuesday.
Tomorrow I need to collect my 'A' level cert to fill up my DUO exchange application before the 15th. Hmm. Don't know if I need to start work on Materials class. 2 more things to do. Outstanding.

OMG what is this. I feel damn stressed. I feel damn fan2. =( Is this how being stressed by school feels like? So far I've always been happy with what I do but this sem seems amazingly busy. A long line of things awaiting me to do. Having to coordinate everything is killing me. It's a stressful time for Tues studio cos we're presenting to the company next Wed! Need to ideate more, sketch, and review the stuff we saw and develop our 3 concepts further and make quality slides. I'm fucking soloing Thursday studio cos if u ask my groupmate to do anything might as well not do so because it's won't result in anything presentable. Last week it was fun but I had the advantage of recess week and I don't feel like touching that project now dammit cos of the sheer number of changes I have to make in a Photoshop file that has what, 130 layers?
For my biz mod the students refusing to do online survey preferring us all to ask 5 people each a set of question. Apparently what my SMU friend tells me about the importance of market research does not apply to NUS biz. This is a super busy week and my Urban group is asking me to do work but I keep on being occupied by Tues studio. GAAAH. Weekend do Tues and Urban, then it will be gone in the blink of an eye. I still need to do my survey for biz! And find time for Thurs studio. I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

AS USUAL when I hit my blog, it's INTENSE PERSONAL SELF REFLECTION time! Yay!!! So. Today I was in school meeting with my group mates, and again it's the same classmates playing table tennis. HOW. HOW are you people so free?! Gosh. I haven't played it in dayssss! Hand itching to play damn badly but I have to meet with my friends. How can u all be to free to play for hours daily? Truth be told I was so jealous but I couldn't play. Fuck it, the next time I get some spare time I'mma play all the way dammit.
Is it my time management or is it you all are slacking off? I think , well, granted u all come school earlier so more time in school, plus I did relax a bit during recess week so that was table tennis time gone.But damn! I wanna play! Never mind. No chance to play, I will work. Fuck yeah. Even if I cannot satisfy my id, I will remind myself I am doing the right thing and put myself to work cos it's a decent way to use my time and damn if it isn't the right thing to do. Work work work. While people relax and I cannot I will chiong my project. At least it's for a worthy cause. Sigh.

I'M SO GLAD. This week is over. A huge collision of presentations and submissions has passed along with this week and I could strike off 3 major times on my to-do list! In that sense sometime it's really better to get things over and done with. On Monday I had a elevator pitch and presentation for Biz which I totally bombed at, but fuck it. I can't change it anymore even though it was total complete fucking failure and I hated that day so much. I did the presentation and all but when nobody voted for my idea at the end or everything, well fuck all.
Tuesday I had to present for studio, and today I finally presented for my History of Science mod and Materials. YES. Don't have to bother with group presentation for the former anymore. Materials is over...for now. Now on to other stuff to do!

It's rather annoying when all you want to do is to drink yourself to sleep. But you can't because you have work to do. Sigh. It's been one of THOSE days. The morning was alright. I even gave $1.10 to an escaped NUH patient who was begging for money to take transport. Some poor sod even gave him his Mcmuffin which the escapee wolfed down in one mouth.
After classes for the day I really wanted to go home and do work, but I have a project meeting ongoing. WHICH I had to put off because I urgently had to settle stuff for tomorrow. Spent some time agonisingly trying to draw out the side views of a table frame before I gave up and thankfully found someone with a Mac who could save the Rhino 3D file for me because my com couldn't read.
Next I went up to print and realised my EZ-link card had no cash. I took bus all the way to NUH to top up my EZ-link and back. Got back, called the person in charge of the print shop, got it printed and went down. Remembered I left my thumb drive upstair and went up and down again. Joined my group for discussion. I wasn't able to contribute much. I hope they were understanding. I don't know why. Maybe it was because I only slept 4 hours last night.
Sadly this blog appears to have become one of those where I have a particularly out of the ordinary day before I type anything. Sigh. Another sleep-less night again.

Here's an update on the state of my studies. I roughly know what I'm gonna be doing now, groups have been formed, and stuff is most likely gonna start flying next week. I find myself working with the same people most of the time. Sure, it's a tried and tested formula and I'm not complaining but sometimes a change in the environment is good, no? Helps to liven things up a bit instead of the same old same old. Nevertheless, things are as they are now.
I'm working with a certain 'notorious' character for one of my major projects. He is...how u say, a mythical creature. He's known for being around for a couple years (still in the SAME year), no one knows where he comes from and he disappears until the final presentation. You don't see him but he's there.
This is...unsettling to say the least. The thing is, I really wanted to do this topic, but this means I'd have a 50% chance of grouping with him. When it came down to it...well, I figure somebody had to group with him so I took the hit. Let's face it, it was either me or my friend so I don't know am I stupid or just too nice.
Maybe I just dug my own grave. There's another 3 person group but they refuse to split up to help me form a 3 man group. So the only other person is me, myself, and I. Okay, I'm sure to give him a chance of course at first but I don't know how is it going to turn out.
I face the upcoming semester with uncertainty, half wondering what I got myself into, half determined to fight my way out of it, come hell or high water.
In the end it all boils down to one thing.
How much is it worth to do something you like?

Been watching lots of movies lately, clearing all those that I've had for a long time but never got the chance to watch. Full Metal Jacket was really good but brings back a load of awful repressed memories I'd rather stay buried. For one thing, I am really really glad I never watched it before NS. I might've renacted the final scene in part 1.
