Sucks. 19th, 20th, 21st... 3 days in a row and they're all "can die" papers.
Oh well. All my papers are out to kill me so what difference does it make. Plus, all my engineering papers count for 100% of my grade.
Fantastic.
I'll just fail now, thank you very much.
Pah.

Maybe It's Just Me?
I haven't come to the Tuesday 9am class for about 2 weeks. Mainly due to the fact that I couldn't wake up, or didn't wake up in time to walk down to class. (I can't help it. The extreme cold makes me weak.)
Today I finally made it.
And he's cancelled the class. Again. When I finally make a determined effort to come.
Maybe it's just me. He cancels it just to spite me.
Or maybe I should just always come to class anyway. Ha~~ (¬.¬'')

I could've slept an hour more....
WTF.
2nd week in a row.
My lecturer has cancelled the lecture last minute.
I got up early and rushed down to school for this bloody lecture dammit. Stupid 9am lecture. And it's cancelled. Again.
Haiz.
Anyway. I need to start updating my blog again. It's terrible that I have *counts* 4 blogs and I don't update any of them anymore. As well, I need to start reading and writing again. I get this general feeling that my vocabulary and writing skills have just plummeted into the depths of despair in the last couple of years. It's terrible.
............
I'm sleepy.

Almost 24 Hours....
Guess where I am...
For the 20 hours, I have been in my classmate's flat in Hillhead Halls. I've been in his room, his kitchen... At some point I was even on his bed...
Doing our wretched project.
It should've been finished. Instead, we are still here, toiling over the final bits of it. We've been at the "final bits" of this project for at least the last week. And in the end we still couldn't get it done on time. The deadline was just less than an hour ago. It didn't help that in the middle of it all, we lost our only formatted version of the report. Don't ask me how. MS Word just decided to revert back to the original un-edited version. So we had to re-do the editting all over again. Or rather, my poor friend had to re-edit it all over again.
The thankful thing is, our supervisor agreed to give us an extension. Although we had still hoped to get it done before 4pm. Luck was just not on our side. Still, there is still a mild hope that we can get it done and printed out by tonight.
One other ray of light in my life though... I ordered an original Master FX Replica of Yoda's lightsabre!! It's been processed and delivered... And I should receive it by tomorrow or Monday!!! \(^o^)/

3rd Year Term 1: Exam Results
Oooh ooh.
I passed my exams.
Well, I've known for 2 weeks now, but I keep forgetting to blog about it. Anyhow, here are my scores (over 20)
Engineering Methods & Analysis - 20
Fluid Mechanics - 17
Stress Analysis - 19
Engineering Materials - 14
Engineering Design - 18
A CAS 14 for Materials! It's a bloody miracle. I really thought I screwed up that paper. It's pulled my average down but thank goodness it's still above 15. I can keep my MEng.. For now. 2nd term is the crunch. As long as I keep the average I'll be fine.
That said, 2nd term is proving to be a bitch. The 3rd year project is killing all of us. I really don't know how this term will go. 5 examinable courses. I will die.

Internet-less
I have been thrown into the spirals of the dark ages once again. D moved out you see, and with him went the TV and the internet.
Although it doesn't really bother me per se.. I have to admit that there are inconveniences. I cannot check my e-mails that regularly (read: every hour) and although I'm not too fussed about it, it does mean that there's a high chance of missing out on important e-mails that may have been sent last minute or something. Well, not that it's such a bad thing when you want to avoid people. Then not having the internet is a very valid excuse.
There is also the fact that I no longer have easy access into my WebCT page, which is something like a student folder. It's where the lecturers will dump stuff into relevant folders for the students to download, like lecture notes and things. NUS had a similar thing but I can't remember what it was called. So there went my brilliant idea of making a Singapore-relevant comparison. I have to find a computer inbetween classes to download them to be printed back home, because I have no money in my print budget at the moment.
And of course, probably the major part of my grief for the loss of internet (although it shouldn't be) is that I no longer have easy access to my Japanese language resources. I will have to go back to using the CDs that came with my textbook. Haiz. Reading the Daily Yomiuri and Sanspo Online and watching Kanajni8 was so much more fun though. Oh well.
Classes have started again. Immediately after exams. I still think it's cruel, not to give the students a mental break, especially after forcing us to study over Christmas. I'd really rather they start the term earlier, say at the end of August instead of the end of September and get the exams out of the way before the Christmas vacation.
How did the exams go? I don't know. I think I'll pass the first three... But I'm not too sure about the last one. It's a 50/50 chance. Well. I'm not going to find out until the end of February. So no point worrying about it now.
This term is going to be truly exciting... A real killer... (X_X)

Can't Breathe Now That I Can Breathe
I am sick.
I have been sick since the Saturday before. Actually it may have started on Friday but in any case, that's more than a week now. BOTH my ears are now blocked and yesterday I developed a cough for some reason. I was still coughing this morning, although it seems to have disappeared right now.
I blame the weather most of all. If it wasn't cold and damp all the time now, I probably would have recovered by now, without any of this irritating deafness.
But what brought it on was a combination of stress and inactivity. Yes, I haven't actually done very much exercise for about a month. I have grown fat and soft once again. The stress part was the start of the Design Week that all Level 3 engineering students have to go through. That started 2 weeks ago on the 19th. The point of the exercise was that we were all assigned a topic relating to engineering design and a group to work with. For an entire week, we would have no scheduled classes, but instead would meet up in various labs in FN to work on the design of whatever it is we got. What made it worse for my group is that at first we were told our report was due in on the Friday that week, with a presentation by the MEng students (me included (T.T)). 1 week to design and write a report on the preliminary design of a hydropower scheme is pretty fierce, let me tell you that. So as we all stressed and stayed in the engineering building til late at night to produce individual reports, we suddenly got word from our supervisor that she was extending the deadline to the following Friday.
On Thursday evening.
And there was no e-mail. No, no. She only told people she happened to bump into, and asked us to pass the word around.
$*#&^&*#*^$!!! Don't get me wrong. It WAS a good thing that she extended the deadline. BUT, the last minute notification and the mode of communication was just... lame, for a lack of better words. Plus, we learnt that the later Friday was supposed to have been the deadline in the first place, just that she got it wrong. Of all the #*$&#*%*.
Sigh.
The result was a horrendous onset of the flu. Of course, it didn't help that we had yet ANOTHER piece of work due in the same Friday. 1 formal report and 2 written logbooks. All due in the same day, at the same time. For 2 whole weeks, I was sleeping at 3am and waking up at 9am to be in for 10am. On the last Thursday I slept at 4.30am tidying up my work before submission.
But, at least everything's done now. I only have one last report due in 2 weeks. So I can breathe easier now. Except that I can't actually breathe without a tonne of drugs and nasal decongestants... (-_-''')

Yes, I know. I'm a terrible blogger. I have all these blogs, and I just never update them. I never update my friendster, facebook or bebo either. And omg, let's not even mention my flickr.
But here I am in the engineering building, in one of the tutorial rooms. Supposed to be here doing my Matlab assignments but I just can't figure out how to properly define the trapezium rule for approximation in Matlab. The solution I'm getting is about 13 times more than the actual answer (supposed to be 1).
I do apologise for never updating my blog, or my photos. The thing is that I have now accumulated such a huge backlog of photos, that I just don't know where to start (read: I am too lazy to properly organize my files and folders. That is why my 30GB IBM is now only left with 4GB of space left).
*****************
And now I am back in my flat. For the first time this year since I came back, I have the whole flat to myself. N decided on a whim to go home on Thursday, D is off to Liverpool for a sailing competition and R is somewhere climbing a mountain. So I have set up camp in the kitchen. Pulled out the sofa bed and have just been living in the kitchen since yesterday. Everything's here!! Food, the tv, radio/cd player; I'm even surrounded by 4 electrical sockets that allow me to plug in my laptop and a reading lamp! The kitchen's coffee table has just become my "bedside" table.
I love having the flat to myself. (^_^) It's such a cheap thrill.

Back in Aberdeen: The First Week
Yes yes, I am now back in "Sunny" Aberdeen! Although, to be fair, it actually has been quite sunny. Well, for the last 2 days anyway. Landed last Saturday morning, and that evening immediately headed off to the gym with N and R. It was mad, I know. I was absolutely destroyed that night. Was dead to the world by 10pm. Sunday was POURING RAIN!! I do believe that was the heaviest rainfall I'd ever seen in Aberdeen in my 2 years here. It was almost like the monsoon rains back home! It was amazing!!!
Anyhooo... Things have been good so far, this first week. Went and met my advisor, got my courses for this year settled. I have to do 2 more courses than normal engineering students this year because of my Management option, but hopefully I'll be able to get through them.
Other than that, there hasn't really been very much going on, it is just only registration week. We'll see what happens once my classes get going. At the moment, my days are filled with short runs, gym visits, society issues to deal with and catching up with people. And then there are long periods of absolute nothingness, like now, where I just hang out in the kitchen, tv on, flatmates walking in and out, waiting for my evening appointment to happen. Now, if you're asking "gym visits? What gym visits?", then yes, so far I've managed to keep up my gym regime. Although I don't know how long more it's going to last, especially once the term really gets going. But we'll see. I was actually overjoyed when I managed to slip easily into the jeans I left here. Before summer they were such a tight fit, I could barely walk up the stairs in them. I going to try to keep it that way.
My official Shape Run timing is out!! Check out the sidebar!
The next 10km run will be the Baxter's Loch Ness Run. Train tickets up to Inverness and accomodation, all booked and ready! Go Siew Mai Go!!

Exam Results!! Year 2 Term 2
Yes ok. It's a rather belated report. The results came out about 2 weeks ago and I haven't actually done very much updating on this blog or any of my other me-sites. I think the most pitiful site I own is my drawing site. It hasn't been updated since before last summer. Anyhow, here's my report for the second half-term of 2006/2007 (remember that the CAS scale my uni uses is over 20):
Siew Mai's Report Card
EG2510
Engineering Mathematics 3 - CAS 20
Was expecting either 19 or 20 so this is ehm... expected? *ducks to avoid projectiles of rotten tomotoes and raw eggs*
EG2539
Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics - CAS 15
EEK!! JUST hit minimum expectation for myself. *sweats* I promise to do better next year when I choose my specific course of engineering. No points for guessing which branch that will be
EG2559
Electrical and Mechanical Systems - CAS 13
Ok. I know it's not that fantastic a mark. It's the bottom of the 2.1 class. But I really was having a lot of trouble with this topic. I just couldn't grasp it strongly enough. I actually gave myself a minimum of 10 to meet, so this is actually better than expected for me.
EG2579
Engineering Design and Practice 2 - CAS 18
Improvement by 1 point per term for this practical lab course... And - I regretfully admit - I didn't even put very much effort into it this term...

Avoiding Electrical Circuits
In a desperate attempt to once again avoid studying, here is yet another random post...
****************************
I think I'm actually more stressed than I think I am. There was a revision lecture scheduled today at the usual time, to be held in the usual lecture theatre. So, desperate as I was for any kind of help and possibly exam hints, I trooped down to the University and up to the assigned room.
There was no one there.
So I called my classmate, NM...
NM: Hello, Su Mei!
Me: Hallo. Uhm... Where is the alleged lecture supposed to be?
NM: The usual place.
Me: But... There's no one there.
NM: Er... Maybe because it's at 4pm?
Me: Yes, but... Wait, what time is it now?
NM: A little after 2?
Me: ... (-_-")
And the crazy thing was... I was actually aware of the times on some level. I know that Electrical on Mondays is always at 4pm. But for some reason when I looked at my watch at 1.40pm, I also just knew that I had to get moving if I wanted to make the lecture in time... (-.-''') Something is wrong with me.
****************************
Made a new friend yesterday! Yay!! Yes, I know I could've mentioned it in yesterday's posts but I was busy talking about AFJ ok? (AFJラブラブ!) Anyhow, yes! New friend! Met him in church and we invited him out for lunch with us. Pity he's only going to be here for a couple more weeks.

Post-Easter Break
Ok well, not quite. We still have a week left before we go back to school. But I've been back in the flat since Wednesday.
********************************************************************
Uhm. Yah. I started this post like 1.5 weeks ago and just never got back to it. Oops. Haven't even finished uploading my holiday pictures onto Flickr. Dammit. I'm falling behind!!!
Anyhow, Easter's over. School started again last Monday, and already we had a test on Thursday. Erks. Got another one next Monday. Ekks!!! *pui* And exams are in about a month's time. I should get a tickercounter for that too I guess..

Of course, my greatest confidence is once again in good old Maths. Goodness knows what will happen with the other two. Haiz. Guess this means I need to start my revision some time this week. At the very latest, next week. There's so much to study.
On the bright side though, I'll be going home on the 31st!!! Immediately after exams are over! Woohoo!!

Year 2 Sem 1 Exam Results
[Based on the CAS scale over 20]
Engineering Mathematics 2 - 20
Materials & Structures - 19
Electronics & Programmable Systems - 19
Engineering Design & Practice - 17
やった！Can't believe I got 19 for Materials and Electronics. I really had almost no confidence for those topics. Materials, because the notes were as good as none; and Electronics, coz well, I just don't understand it well enough.
But this is good!! Thanks to all for prayers and support! 皆、ありがとう！

やった！Can't believe I got 19 for Materials and Electronics. I really had almost no confidence for those topics. Materials, because the notes were as good as none; and Electronics, coz well, I just don't understand it well enough.
But this is good!! Thanks to all for prayers and support! 皆、ありがとう！

Post Exam Rant
やっと。試験が終わりました。
Exams are FINALLY over. Well. Ok. They finished yesterday morning, but I've been having minor problems with the internet since yesterday so here's a delayed update.
The Electronics paper was surprisingly easier than I anticipated. There was only one question that I had to give up on. I may actually get above a CAS 15 for this particular course. As for the other two, Maths I should get either 19 or 20. Structures... My confidence was shaken a little when I blanked out on a simple formula. But hopefully won't be below 15 either.
So that's exams for the first term of my second year in Aberdeen. Things are looking good so far I guess. Heh. Went over to G & PL's place after the exam yesterday to do some online shopping from Japan Center. Hohoho! Although I promise I didn't spend over 20 pounds. I did that today shopping for Classical/Opera CDs and cheena DVDs... (>_<)
I can't help it!! I'm addicted to DVDs & CDs!!! And it's after exams! I should be allowed to have some kind of release!!! 发泄发泄！

Why so Sian...
I am SO BORED of studying. (>_<) *pui*
Stupid exams. Can't wait for the last one to be over. *grumble*
On a bright side, salsa and hip hop classes are quite fun. Very different crowd though. Think I prefer the salsa class. Older, more mature, not so clique-ish. The hip hop class... mostly young teenage girls, some of them regulars. So you can imagine.
