I am SUPPOSED to draw my 59 figures like NOW. Instead, I came to BLOG. One of the 9 PMBOK processes, TIME MANAGEMENT.
Why am I in project and facilities management when I can't even manage my own life? LOL.
Anyway, I am living the the heart of a tornado. A tornado destroys everything in its path and the safest place to be is to be in its heart. My friends are stressed up by sucky mid terms and upcoming end term and projects. It's a PHEW that I have FINALLY cleared my PF1102 project and got shoot big time by the teacher. Yet, I am not feeling stressed up at all (that's why I am blogging instead of drawing!) I think I am going to DIE for end sems. Oopss...
I think I aim too high for me to even reach it's TIP. But what's the purpose of life without a AIM? AIMS are supposed to be unreachable. If you can reach it, it's not an aim. I think I heard it from Adam Khoo course I suppose. I am aiming for a First Class (too high, too high for the situation now) but looks like it's just a dream that will never come true? AIMS should be set high to be unreacheable BUT it must have the illusion that it is reachable so that we don't feel dejected everytime.
Ohhh.... and for the last post, it's Que Sera NOT Que SARAH.... LOL. I feel like banging my head on the wall.
Anyways, GAMBATTE to all. NUS for End term, NTU for MID terms and your end term in DEC.
Life past in a flash, cherish it.
Once I recieved a letter to SMG labels. And it wrote, "Only a dead man has seen the end of war." Every moment of live, we are in a survival war. Only when you die, you see the end. :)
Quitters never win, Winners never quit.
I am proud to be a EMP-er =D

Great spirit or mediocre mind. Which one are you?
Yesterday there was this supposely inspirational talk at Eusoff formal dinner. While... I think I have a mediocre mind. That's why I wasn't listening to the talk. Anyways, today morning over breakfast, I don't know why our talk went into academic grades. But we where talking about this girl who had to S/U one of her A- module to sustain a 5.0 CAP.
So I commented that that is a damn stupid thing to do. Getting 5.0 CAP and 4.5 CAP, it's still a first class hounors. Then I said, getting Bs you still can get a second class hons which is relatively good and evelyn agreed. And Yanting said, satisfying which what you currently have and not moving forward is a thought of a mediocre mind. I said I would be satisfied with getting Bs which I think it's relatively a good grade (provided you see how scary the bell-curve of that module is) and Yanting rebutted. You got you B because of moderation. Which means, half of the cohort is better that you, what is there to feel satisfied about? It's not the grades, you can be getting 27/30 which is obviously an A but get a B because of the bell curve. You yourself is contented with the 27 marks, but as compared to the cohort, you are lousy, half of the cohort own you.
And then I was wondering, why the hell is there a bell curve here?! Competitiveness... Why does the education system wants to achieve by being such acedamic oriented? The country looks at grades, the society looks at grades, you look at grades, everyone looks at grades, but who knows how much effort you had put in, how good your results are supposed to be. This place leaves no room for error. One mistake and out you go.
I am hitting the bare minimum on the B bell curve, but I am contented, cause I am getting the results I wanted, but not the grades....Hiaz... maybe I have a mediocre mind. I don't belong here...
