Exam blues and more bitching and more pix

Looking at the date of my last post, I feel kinda bad not updating my blog. As usual it's the exam period, this time round 5 modules *faint*, but it is gonna be over soon, my last paper is on wed and darn it, my exam always have to fall within a public holiday. Why can't NUS just avoid these precious holidays we get. Sometimes I feel that they never take into consideration the hardship of part timers and how we have to juggle with our working life and still complete the course in the same time. This term was kinda of slacking, for me that is. No mood to get things done, no mood to do my assignments, but still it was done. No politics this time with that a$$, last mentioned in my blog a while back, but this time round, another a$$ has emerged from the ashes, an old a$$ for that matter. haha

After our last construction tech presentation, I heard from Jamie that Yong and company had been talking about us during their Building services project meeting, Jamie was in their team. I don't really care if they talking about us or boast about how good they are, all that shit. I supposed they had intention to let us know, thru the use of Jamie... from what she mentioned, Yong and co. was boasting on how good they presentation was, and how screwed up, our's had gone. Still don't understand what's the boasting is about. Project scope wise, I think we picked a much better subject to talk about, comparing to their reclaimation project, HA!, I though too highly of them (Yong) sometimes. Reclaimation is all about cover and fill, what's there to talk about.... DUH!!, if you put in equation on how the reclaimed land mass is used for buildings, such as in the marina bay or east coast area, thats a much better topic. Best of all, they took a freaking 1.5hrs to talk about land reclaimation... talk about wasting time, after they long and boring presentation, my guess was the lecturer was getting impatient.. who wouldn't

But all well and ends well, we had our day :) and it was SWEET!, having our last presentation for building services on cold and hot water services. I'm proud to say that we did a far (i think should be two far) a better project. The day, the project was announced, Yong impatiently chose their choice/subject, which is HDB *boring*, thinking that he might have something up his sleeves, contacts with someone in HDB and obviously looking that his kanchiong old self, thought they had something worthy to do. It turns out that the presentation was taken off the lecture notes, so much for a project... their presentation was utterly a repeat of the lecture on cold and hot water system. Seriously, I don't need another lecture on the subject. If I really need one, I will ask the lecture. Shamelessly ripping information, diagrams off the notes is something an idiot should know not to do. If any of the dumb a$$ from that team is reading this, please for god sake, provide drawings to illustrated the water system, not using photographs. If Yong and co. would have be nicer and asked for drawings, perhaps we would have given them some. One more thing, please read the project specification. Plans and Sections showing the distribution!
remember those are laugh first, laugh last. I respected Yong initially, but now, another down the drain... how come people just can't be humble. After 4 sems, I truly found some real friends and some people I have no problems working with. Too bad azhar left the course though.

back to my other life :), my photography has been a drastic drop in standard, not only do I have problems focusing, my hands shakes!!!!!!!! due to school work, I don't really have time to spare as well. My legal case has turned out so far, smooth. The court has ordered the defendent to pay for my compensation over the case. But for now, I still need the medical report from the JB hospital, which that, I can also seek a local specialist advice on my digestion problems. I hope not too long. I want to get my tummy fixed. so i can enjoy going to beach resorts once more.

here are some new pix, don't expect too much from me please
