spending mah time designing. ~__~;;

Things Happen, Life Goes On.

There are times in my life when I just feel so tired and sick of everything, of everyone, of the world.

This is one of those times.

I'd been happy lately. My results were fine, 1HD, D, C and a P. same as last semester. I didn't fail Marketing Planning and I thank dear Bunnie and Intel for their help and support, and also to videl who supported me during that trying time. Also thanks go to a few of my classmates like Fera, who was there for me to talk to even though I didn't even know her name at all when I first spoke to her, when I first got all teary-eyed, after the upsetting announcement over the 1st assignment. But I got through it. Thankfully. It's thanks to them I can look forward happily to my next semester.

A lot of things happened since I last posted. Like my birthday in May, my parents bought the usual cake, but I couldn't even eat it till 3 days later, and I only ate a bit, because I was stressing out over the 2nd assignment, the 1st being craptastically blown, assumedly. Some of the people from SAMs gave me 2 Keroro kits as my birthday present which was really sweet of them. It was even wrapped in bunny printed wrapping paper. I also got some wishes from old friends and my college friends. Bunnie gave me a teddy bear, it was in this nice box, I really liked it. It's gone to join my other stuffed toy bears, bunnies and doggy which many dear darling friends have given to me over the span of my life till now. I also kind of realise that our birthdays were like binary, one realises it when you look at the numbers for our birthday dates. I was too stressed that time but I spotted a pendant I thought she'd like and got it for her; which I thought wasn't enough so I drew her a birthday card with 10-year old Lambo and adult Lambo on it. Lambo~<3>

Just recently someone gave me a belated birthday present, a figurine of Mwu La Fraaga from Gundam Seed. O.o;; thanks!

Exams came and went, the results are up, after which well...heh. relax...

But I ended up taking the Elective Plus subject "Multimedia Applications" which was available for the winter sem so I'm taking classes everyday mon-friday until the 1st august, which is exam day. It's alright so far, got to know a few ppl, and one...who kind of scares me in a way. >.> Half of the class are students from the Australian campus.

There was a BBQ the other day, had some fun, and it was really nice sitting there on the ground BBQ-ing the food and eating it right off it. I love the marshmallows, Thanks lots to the host for the beer as well. XD

Went for some yamcha sessions, esp with Akiyame members. Yen is so cute! She's such a cute huggable chibi, like a big teddybear~ XD lots of fun, Eichi and Brennan being back and all that. Had badminton session the other day with AJ, Brennan and Gary, it was loads fun, though I felt a bit like a bully. >.> Brennan kept going "It's the Curse of Haruhi!" lol. Sorry if I was a bit of a bully guys, haha I did ask tho, and then I got all lazy, which is usually the case so I played like crap. :p

And then there was the Artjam! XD it was fun! Everyone had such nice and lovely art to show each other, and so far I have received 3 submissions, which is just wonderful really. I have been doing some catching up on y drawing as well....and drawing new stuff.... >.>;;; uh, i kind know how that goes so ahaha...too much to draw.

And Robert has been kind enough to lend me his Nintendo DS 'indefinitely' as he doesn't use it anymore really. I traded some mash in with him, I was a bit afraid it'd go bad anyways, since mostly only me and my dad was eating it...and....there's a lot. The problem mainly was the gravy, but anyways I thought it was a rather fair trade. The food poisoning incident I had over some bad gravy kinda also spoiled the idea of it in a way as well.

And! oh! the RWMF 2009! I didn't go this year, the ticket prices just keep getting more and more expensive. But, it was notable for me, because two of my t-shirt designs were selected and I received a RM400 cheque for it from Craft hub! a few friends told me they saw my pic and all that, lol, but it was cool. >.> I saw one of my Aussie classmates wearing one of the t-shirts.... lol, din tell him i designed it, kinda paiseh, ahaha... too bad they didn't give me the t-shirts and tickets to RWMF, but that's fine. I'm just happy I actually had my designs chosen.

A few days before that, I was spending some awesome quality time and having fun with my best friend and her Aussie boyfriend at Village House, oh, it's really such a nice place! The Rooms you stay at is really nice and the washroom/Toilet is so nicely designed, simple, and very clean. I really love the bathroom, I know, it's a weird thing to be talking about but I wish my bathroom was designed like that. The seaside air is really really nice and cooling. The beach that was nearby wasn't too good though. Daytime we were up and around biking, taking early swims, relaxing our asses off. And testing the waterproof Olympus camera on some lolis. Lol, which reminds me I need to send pictures to them. The swimming pool was also very nice, along with the Wifi availability, and wonderful cosy room with a great big plasma tv, bean bags(!!!), books...there was even a very nice chess set and scrabble board! Most nights we were on the net, watching tv or laptops, playing games, and playing scrabble, lol. And then there's the alcohol. My friend got kind of high on the Long Island Tea, which wasn't too bad there. Food and drink prices aren't cheap though, if you spend there. And there's not much for eats outside, so that was the major drawback. The food can be improved, because what was being paid for it didn't feel so worth it; quality varied was a hit and go thing. And it was also when....that I got addicted to Elite Beat Agents. ._.

It was rather fun and sometimes kind of frustrating in the beginning cuz I kept losing to the boyfriend and i kinda felt like kicking him many times, but heh I got better. >3 So yeah, that's also why I actually wanted to borrow a DS....just so I could play EBA and Ouendan. ._. now I'm somewhat addicted to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate. Level 58 now only tho... I also now have a bikini! XD but it's kinda cheap, so the quality isn't there. :x not like I go to the beach or swim much. >.>

Haha, lots of things happened really, I don't think I even talked about all of them yet. But that kinds sums quite a bit up.

And then there's that. I don't really want to talk about it, because it's not something I really want to talk about. It just makes me tired. I've always been a chatty person I guess, rather much an extroverted person. I guess it's part of my tomboy nature. It conflicts I suppose. I suppose I've gotten more skirts, or dresses and things like that, buying the occasional makeup things or whatever most normal girls put on their faces or body in an effort to make themselves look prettier. I still love tank tops, spaghetti straps and turtlenecks. Such freedom in the spaghetti, haha, I can't believe I just said that. I know I've gained weight, since I no longer do those ECA almost everyday like I did in my old school. I can't wait until the multi-purpose hall opens up.

Anyways, lots of stuff to do so ciao!

Life in General.

Well so far I haven't totally messed up any of my other subjects. Yesterdays design website presentation went well, the lecturer approved almost immediately, yay~ >_<;;

.....

I forgot to include the linked images and had to improvise elsewhere to show the example properly. I pray my hardest for the minor assignment in my marketing planning and hope for the best for the major and that I can finish way ahead of time. I am working my utmost best. There is an assignment due practically every week or some form of presentation, in the weeks ahead of me, which is making things tougher. One of my group members didn't show up for discussion today or the tutorial for the respective subject as well... ;_;

.....

Apparently was still sleeping and we woke her up when we called. D:

.....

The AUQA meeting the other day, which made me miss part of my design tute(which was ok since that was alright), was ok, yay, free lunch! Mainly it was the person asking a whole bunch of us sitting around a round table, and he asked us question, opinions and stuff like that one by one. >_<

Let us lOl with the menu. XD

Big Apple Donuts

Was one of the first 100 customers at Big Apple Donuts. :O Waited for around 2 hours! The donuts were disappointingly smaller than I expected. And only a few were good like Chocoholic and that cappucino-chocolate mix a few others weren't all too bad. Erm. no one tried the Durian flavored one. Still..Half a Dozen FREE Donuts! XDDD Since 4 of us went there and got the free donuts, we had SIXTEEN to choose from! Now Drool I tell you!!! Shared 'em with Steven n Kiam. And A Jay did something bad... One thing about the whole waiting thing was....there was these 2-3 aunties that kept pushing from the back and if they happened to be behind one of us it was like they were molesting you. D: One of them, their hands were like on my butt. D: I clearly showed my annoyance, but they were those certain 'aunty' types. Absolutely horrible! >_>

.....

*DROOL~*

Steven: "I shallz tellz j00 the way of the Donut."

"Ways to Eat your donuts" *licks*

Gary's Birthday

XD 21st April was Gary's birthday! He's a big boy now! Just turned 21, so a bunch of us got a present for him :3 He still hasn't opened it, so I won't spoil what's inside, though I'm quite certain he'll have guessed what it is by now. >.<

Erm...if you've watched a certain Youtube video, you'll know what this means.

.....

.....

We went to Sushi King for eats, partly because of his birthday and at the same time to enjoy the RM2 per plate promotion! :O We spent...erm...a lot. >_<

.....
.....

Edit: Oh wow, I typed this a heck long ago and didn't get round to posting it till now. Bunnie's birthday has come and gone on 1st May!!! Omedeto Tanjoubi Bunnie! Huhuhu, so chun it's almost like mine! >_<

Parody galore and on the Youtube spree

http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Xx_Yt7o6f4&feature=related

The song totally fit with the video used. Don't watch it though unless you don't mind getting spoiled for Toward the Terra. Nearly made me want to cry because it's very touching.

Then I found this and Lol'ed. Miku Hatsune and Jomy, Blue & Tony, nicely done.



and more...with Caramelldansen this time....



and MORE!!!! with Azumanga Daioh...



Ok, I'm only including this because....I like the 2nd song used. Who knows the song?

interpretations

today wasn't very good.

So apparently being slightly late in handing in an assignment means you automatically lose 10 marks out of 15 possible marks. I could blame my software; but at the same time I don't mind the fact that it was a late submission, but the judgement in the deduction is extremely questionable.

10 marks for being 10 minutes late. I'm starting to hate the number 10.

It's unfortunate that it's also lectured by the notorious Edith.

am I mistaken? I feel that she is wrong in the way she deducted marks.

the subject outline states:

"Where an assignment is submitted after the specified due time and date, the assignment mark will be penalised at the rate of 10% per day or part thereof. If late assignments are received after marked assignments have been returned, the late assignments will not be awarded any marks."

Her interpretation is that 10% equals to 10 of the total of 15 marks. So, if that were the case, if we were 10 days late, we would be penalised 100 marks then, meaning to say we would have already failed the subject at that moment in time.

Tell me that there isn't something wrong and fundamentally flawed with this logic.

she did tell us this morning when we enquired why we had an automatic fail and she said to read the subject outline and we have read the subject outline.

I have asked other students, lecturers and even the subject co-ordinator and it is a common understanding by them that deduction would be 10% out of a total of 100% for the total marks achievable for that assignment. This would and should be by right the correct interpretation. Her interpretation is very different and I would even go as far as to say as being wrong. And why would the subject outline state 'rate' as well then?

I assume she is purposely being nasty and extreme. It's not that she is a bad lecturer, in fact, she's good. Just that I think she is nasty when it comes to things like this.

In the first place, why should such questionable judgement arise?

Either the university is at fault, or everyone else in general is, or she is.

Either way, the coordinator is useless in such aspect; either he has poor argumentative and reasoning powers, is just lazy to argue right, or he's just a defenseless poor little babe in the face of Edith's wrath.

Tomorrow I shall be having a tute with her.

I do hope she won't bomb us.

Can anyone tell me whether they see logic in her interpretation or why she would do something in such a way?
