PhD Logic

Very accurate ah for me ALTHOUGH I do tend to be more productive at night (sometimes) ‘cos the weather is cooler and I know I’m going to be dead meat for the exams in 5 hours times if I don’t start burning the midnight oil.

Untying tongues
The craziest week is almost over.
My NM3215 presentation went surprisingly well, even though Jerry Lim didn’t agree with what we suggested that Jack’s Place should focus on in their advertising campaigns. He’s actually a really nice person and not like those mean CEO or managers you imagine. The fetching him bit was a bit dumb though ‘cos I was just standing under the sun waving at random blue cars thinking it’s his car.
We presented in the same week with the Magnum group. Their presentation was a mess for me. Too much info organised all over the place to take in that even Jerry Lim commented on it later as I brought him back to where his car was parked.
My NM2219 presentation was over over too on the same day and I’m quite lucky to say that it went smoothly too, even though I lost my train of thoughts halfway through the presentation. Almost derailed and crashed but I still managed to pull the emergency stop and get back on track. And best of all, Elmie thought that our tactics were the best ‘cos we had the most symmetrical tactics among all the other groups who presented.
Tomorrow’s my Nm2201 presentation. I’m talking to myself too much in my room. My neighbour’s going to think I’m schizo.

Ice Blend
Today’s my last lesson with The Terror Kid and as usual, she’s moving around too much for me to try to teach her anything. My exams are coming and it’s time to study.

Ringing
It’s 4.26am now. I’m still awake not ‘cos I’m gaming but ‘cos I’m doing sai kang rubbish for my NM3215 mod. Don’t get me started but just thinking about how everyone else is comfortably sleeping in their beds at this ungodly hour makes me mad and when I get pissed off I can’t concentrate on getting the work done and Words is giving a lot of shit problems.
Anyway.
I don’t know about others but I know that for myself, sometimes when I’ve been going on without sleep for an extended period beyond that which my body can take, I start to get some signals. I don’t yawn a lot actually but rather, my ears start to ring and my skin feels extra sensitive.
It’s a very weird sensation, kinda like you’re in limbo or something. Not that I’ll know how that feels though.
No sleep tonight man…
Still got to fill in the citation part, screenshot youtube videos, edit storyboard, FIGURE OUT THE BLOODY FORMATING SHIT and go through round 3 editing.

Sing a song
I was searching Factiva for articles for one of my projects and you know what?
There’s actually a website call singlish.com
Not a really big deal until you enter the website and realise that its not the usual Singlish Singaporeans speak but English that is learnt through singing.
And they’re advertising it as like, the best way to learn English or something.
Wait till the Speak Good English Movement hears about how ang mohs are so proud of Singlish.
A student’s life
I don’t know if I should start panicking or what but this advertising module of mine is starting to turn ugly. My project group mates don’t seem to care as much about it and when the bloody report is due this Friday, there’s still a good whole chunk of stuff not done.
Ok.
WE ARE DEAD!!!!!
On a lighter note, I just got back my sociology term project and when the tutor handed it to us, she said it was “beautifully done”. My project mates were wondering if she was being sarcastic or what and told me to look at the grade instead ‘cos they were pretty scared about it.
My first A+ so yeah, today’s still a pretty good day so far.
This is week 11 already and very very soon, final exams will be starting. It’s crazy trying to meet all the deadlines raining down incessantly and when you have uncooperative group mates, it’s even worse.
Stress mode kicking in. Going to start camping in PGP and not go home very soon.

Short ramble
During Bandito dinner, Ying Xuan was saying something about a new gossip that she chanced upon on FB but hor, she hang herself up to sell, dun want to share. And my FB stalking skills are obviously not as developed as hers so I still don’t know who it is. Hmmmm.
First day of O levels today. When my sis ends her paper, mine’s just about starting.
I have banyak banyak deadlines this week.
And I feel very irresponsible for not having completed my part of the NM3215 report when it’s due on Friday. I can’t crap things out for some reason.
I forsee a whole week of late nights trying to squeeze every ounce of available grey matter dry of nutrients.
AND SHIT.
I WAS SORTING MY LAUNDRY WHEN I SAW A HUGE, REALLY HUGE BLACK LIZARD SCURRIED OUT FROM BEHIND MY LAUNDRY BASKET!
KNN!
I DUNNO WHERE IT IS NOW!
People always say that if you cannot see it, that means its not in the room anymore.
WRONG! I KNOW THESE BASTARDS BETTER THAN OTHERS GIVE ME CREDIT FOR! THEY DON’T GO AWAY UNLESS YOU SEE THEM DEAD OR LEAVE YOUR ROOM WITH YOUR OWN EYES!
OTHERWISE, THEY’RE JUST HIDING IN SOME WULU CORNERS OF YOUR ROOM!
I NEED A CAT.

A very assorted post
I enjoy rapid-fire conversations most, not with people who laugh at what I say but actually, with people who are actually able to keep up or stay ahead to counter every single line I come up with. That’s what I call conversation. It keeps me on the ball, furiously thinking ahead of the possible links and connections I can draw way before the conversation ventures into the area. It’s all about practice really and the use of a huge huge ego which can be easily summoned and kept when needed.
I enjoy such stimulating conversations. Which, by the way, Joanna is really good at.
Now when people laugh during such conversations, the satisfaction I get is like I’ve accomplished something, that I’ve hit my day’s quota of good deeds, if there is such a tangible manner to measure kind acts.
