Results: Semester 1/2007

Some of you probably know what results I got already. Today, I just went to get my result certificate after completing one of the surveys I didn't complete the other time. Well, all I got was a crappy looking piece of A4 paper with my results printed on it....not even nice Conqueror Paper!

It states my name, course, address and other details. And of course! my results:

================================================
COURSE DESCRIPTION =======>|| Cr. HOURS || GRADE || Cr. PT
HBM110 - The Marketing Concept ==>|| 12.5 || P || 33.38
HDMD101 - Design for Multimedia I =>|| 12.5 || HD || 50.00
HET113 - The Internet & WWW 1 ===>|| 12.5 || C || 37.50
HMB110 - Quantitative Analysis ====>|| 12.5 || D || 50.00
================================================

You know what this means? It means I got a Grade Point Average of 3.42! It's not as high as I want it to be... I expected an extra Distinction, but oh well. And the Pass grade for marketing was slightly surprising because I'd expected at least a C for that...I studied the longest for that subject. Thank goodness I passed it though because I know from the lecturer for that subject that loads of people failed it! I think nearly half or more! Grade were mostly Pass or NotPass... [._.] waffer! hope ur remark goes positively!

Surprising as well was the Credit grade for Internet which I expected to be a D...but then I messed up the paper because I didn't really study for it....a few hours only.... [@_@] ;; ahahahaha......*swt*

The Distinction for Quantitative Analysis was the most surprising as I know I'm not very good in Maths subjects really... they freak me out. I was real paranoid a bit about this subject. But I know I did study and do the revision questions and sample questions tho I left out the super duper hard revision questions at the end of the book we gotta study for the subject. Mostly self-study...but Ms. Lee Ming Ha was very helpful and explained any questions I couldn't answer, very well! She's very patient and attends well to you personally during tutorials if ya got any questions! [x_x]'' Gonna kinda miss the TI-83+ calculator though. It's a bit fun to use. XD

The High Distinction for Design and Multimedia I, was kind of nice..... because...well... I think I spent the most time on it? [@o@] going through all the tutorials learning so many things....Flash scared me the most. When I first opened the program and saw the interface for it... I wanted to faint! It's so scarrrryyy~ so many stuffs on it.... totally didn't know how to use... The tutorials were very helpful... [>_<] had to have a crash course in Flash and stayed bugged to the computer for hours on end looking at tutorial videos and learning how to use it, even during meals!

Lol~ I actually didn't like my second main assignment where we had to make this flash animation...cuz it was so messy and not detailed enough. The trees had jagged edges on the leaves!!! Amazingly the lecturer Michael Lee liked my assignment...even asked me go see him to discuss refining it after one of the presentations... *swt* ahahahaha.....

Most importantly though!!! I passed all my subjects and that my dears, is the happy mark for me!!! XDDDDDDD Since I did better than I expected overall, although getting a Pass grade is a bit dampening....and frightens me a bit to think I nearly might have failed....the results are good and, better than happy, it is now, happy happy marks!!! Yay~~~~!!!

Let's hope I don't fail anything next sem! [^-^];;;

Ketsuekigata / Blood Type Meanings + Character Profile

The following is a printed article from I don't know where, but I'm leaving it here. It's rather old, and is about the meanings of blood types:

You have probably notices that in character stats from Japanese anime, manga, and video games, that the blood type if included. this is because in Japan some people believe that blood type tells something about a person's character, much like astrology.

A Blood

People with A type blood have a deep-rooted strength that helps them stay calm in a crisis when everyone else is panicking. however, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity.

B blood

People with B blood are the most practical of the blood groups. They are specialist in what they do. when they start a project, they spend extra time understanding and trying to follow directions than others might. When they are doing something, all of their attention is focused on it. They tend to stick to a goal and follow through to the end, even if it seems impossible. They tend to be less than cooperative, as they like to follow their own rules and their own ideas. They are individualists. B type people pay attention to their thoughts a little more than their feelings, and therefore can sometimes seem cold and serious.

AB Blood

AB type people are unique, and hard to categorize. They can have characteristics on two ends of the spectrum at the same time. For instance they are both shy and outgoing. They easily switch from one opposite to another. AB people are trustworthy and responsible, but can't handle it when too much is asked of them. they don't mind doing favors or helping out, as long as its their own conditions. People with this blood type are interested in art, and metaphysics.

O Blood

O type people are outgoing, energetic and social. They are the most flexible of the blood types. They easily start up projects but often have trouble following through because they give up easily. They are flighty and not too dependable. O types always say what's on their mind, and how they feel. O types value the opinion of others, and like to be in the center of attention. Also, people with O blood are extremely self confident.

A is most compatible with A and AB.

B is most compatible with B and AB

AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O.

O is most compatible with O and AB.

Another piece from my cleaning lately and another document in the bin. This came from my reading of some philosophy books. I actually vectorised this, haha. It's not an accurate copy of the handwritten copy, tho. the handwritten one was already pretty bad.

AUM~

heartless and cold

EDIT: And if you think my mom wouldn't do such a thing on purpose, think again. She's the kind of person who would put a poor helpless little kitty which was abandoned by it's mom, out in the cold and alone. And if it died, it wouldn't faze her at all.

I've always known my mom was a cold heartless bitch but I didn't know how much until earlier this morning when I wake up to the sounds of my brother calling my handphone and banging on the door to my room.

it is now 3.42am when I write this. I still hope against all hope that they are still alive but logic tells me they're probably long dead.

I wake up from barely enough sleep, less than two hours in fact, and stumble down to the car porch to find what he found when he came back. A tumbled over box with its remains spilled on the ground. Dread hit my stomach and I started ranting and crying at the same time. I went around the neighborhood walking around looking here and there for them, maybe they escaped running, who knows, but I didn't find them. Zilch, nada.

My mom has always hated animals. she disliked them with a vengeance. We'd been keeping the hamsters in a larger container box as their initial box was too small and wasn't suited for hamsters. especially two. Their current one had the lid taken off. We'd always kept them in the house regardless and changed the bedding once it started to smell. And we'd already occasionally find them placed outside, but that was in a fully-enclosed box so nothing happened.

Apparently tonight, after 1 month plus of my helping my friend keep them in my care, she'd put them outside. And that is akin to PURE MURDER.

God, how inhuman and heartless can she be? Are human beings so capable of such pure heartlessness they'd let defenseless young innocent animals that took up so little breathing space in this world as to be negligent, to offer them to die horrifyingly by the jaws of some other more predatory animal? Animals, one of which was pregnant, and was given into your care?

You care for them, you feed them, you give them shelter and they provide you warmth in their pure innocence and to be taken so heartlessly and dying in such a terrifyingly horrible way...

HOW CAN SHE NOT KNOW? HOW COULD SHE?

If she didn't like them I could have just given them away or taken them away the next day. She could have just thrown a tantrum. But not like this. I'll never forgive her for this. I can't believe she could be so heartless. She knows its my friends', one of them at least, and still she did that. She's a monster. She's not a human. She's a monster in human skin. I hate her for this.

My dear hamsters, I'm sorry for this. I'm sorry I didn't already separate two of you; maybe one of you could have survived in one of the other cages. I'm sorry I didn't keep you in my room. I'm sorry, if you are dead already. I'm sorry if you are dead that you had to die so horribly. I'm sorry for the unborn young. I'm sorry you couldn't have died a peaceful death. I'm sorry that I'm going to have to explain how you died to my friend.

I'm so sorry, things couldn't have been different.


God rest their poor little souls.


It's cold, my sleep is disturbed, it's now 4:11 am, I have an interview less than 6 hours away, and my eyes are all puffy and red and swollen. I feel horrible, tired and empty.

POST: my brother, me and my dad are all angry and rather pissed at my mother for the death of such poor defenseless, harmless animals. Would you want to die horribly eaten alive and barely able to do anything about it? Think of Hannibal Lecter.

Old Files and papers

So in a rather vain attempt to clear all sorts of junk from my room, I started sorting out some old papers for throwing and for keeping.

I found some old stuff like poems and stuff. Well yeah I did write some poems during the odd moments here and there. I'm not much of a writer much less a poet or anything (though there was that thing from the Poetry.com thing...) but anyways, since I'm gonna be tossing the hardcopies, I'd thought I'd write them down here.

To my dearest friend,

You've always been my friend
And you'll always be a dear

You've given me so much

And yet asked so little

Ever since I saw you

My life was never the same

Ever since I knew you

My worth, I knew, was always less


Please forgive me of any wrong

May it be yours or mine
Please take my love

May it be forever

Our friendship

Our love

Our loyalty

Our happiness


May it never end

Rather sappy yea? I think it could have been a result of moving away from all my friends in Brunei. I used to read a whole lot of fanfiction, mainly Ranma 1/2 fanfiction. Some of the series would get me all teary after I read them and some of them were rather disturbing pieces. Dark fanfiction we'd call them where the end was usually a bad ending, very sad or such. Some were rather macabre. Like this one by Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne: Hiroshi And Daisuke Are Dead.

It's good and you have to read it! ok, it's not really that good, but it's a rather fun read. I really like his Slayer's fanfiction though and it IS really one of the best Slayers fanfiction series out there. MTCFFUltra was good too. The Magical Troubleshooting Crossover Fighting Federation was one of the more interesting crossover pieces. It really was a MAJOR crossover series with some of the best fanfiction authors throwing in their two cents. It went up to Season Nine and was at episode 90 before it suddenly died. No one continued or ended it which I found rather sad. Even after all these years it's still there though and it was a good read. They even had an opening theme in the .ram format, lol!

Anyways, here's more poems:

I tried to see
To no avail
I tried to find
To no cause
Down the memory lane
I took a look
and saw those eyes staring at me
I screamed in terror
I ran in fear
'cause I saw a big black cat

This was written, I think around the time I read fanfiction concerning Ranma's nekophobia and Ranma went crazy. This next one, is possibly a poem from one of the fanfics, I'm not too sure. And I think I made up the name of who it was written by but I'm not sure because they do exist to be precise. Ah, failing memory. Some fanfics have a habit of including songs or poems in it, some of them can be called songfics.

I gambled in the graveyards
Went against the odds
With the saints and with the saviours
With the maggots and the gods
I cursed the things they showed me
I'd never see them again...
- The Pogues

The following two could perhaps be an effect from the Final Fantasy 7 game. I kind of used to be a Cloud/Tifa fan but then, I think it didn't matter later. There was this whole CloudxTifa and CloudxAerith fandom war going on around that time. Even a good friend of mine was into it, and boy some of them really had hissy fits of the whole thing. All the FF7 characters were pretty likeable in fact, they all made the game a success. Cait Sith! o(^-^)o

She smiled at me
Like the sun in its glory
Took a dip
Water of Gods & Goddesses
Poured it down my back
But she shook her head
And cried
I couldn't help but notice
That I was covered in water
Dark, black, dirty water

+++++

Brown strands of hair
Soft chestnuts, so soft
She prays and smiles at me
And I bask in all her glory
I lifted my hands
And entwined it with hers
She laughs
That soft trilling laugh
And it breaks my heart
To know it was just a dream
A fleeting dream

Anyways, I'm gonna post up another silly post later again. :/

Happy New Year 2008!

Actually....I wanna get a new blog. no, serious! I don't like the name of this one. kinda bugs me. Musta been high on a fantasy book when I came up with the name.

Anyways, it's the Year 2008, greetings to everyone who hold goodwill towards me in their hearts. Anyone else can GTHO.

Happy 20th birthday to Ian today! although your present wasn't finished in time and it's silly, I'll present it to ya nevertheless as a belated present. And I came late for the lunch...although 2pm + isn't what I would call a lunch. Btw, do people consider blogs interesting only if they have pictures? I used to post a lot in an old journal only a few of my best friends knew about and it was mainly all text. ever since pictures came up...I feel less inclined to do so because uploading pictures somehow seems a hassle and I have a lot I'd like to upload actually.

Many things happened in the past year year, I don't know whether I should blog about it or will blog about it eventually, but I look forward to a better new year, hopefully. No resolutions but I only wish to be happy.

All the best in the new year everyone!

I'll see about the new blog.

EDIT: I changed the blog address already and the name too. :3
