No life + Bad grades = Fail

Nah, the title is just for fun.

If you want my reaction to my results in one word: indifferent
If you want the longer version, read on.


My exam results were released 2 days ago (that's on the 30th for those still counting). It was really weird because it came as sort of a rude awakening, literally. I had known it was coming for many days before it's release. Yet the day just before it was released, I had completely forgotten about it. Maybe just living in denial eh. I had meant to make this blog post a lot earlier, but my reactions were rather indifferent, and that kinda fueled my procrastination. Since Maple is undergoing a server check now, why not.

Our exam results are SMS-ed to our phones on the morning of the release. 7am to be precise. I was deep in slumber, and I believe my phone caused a mini-earthquake on my table by vibrating for a full 5-10 mins before I could drag myself out of bed...

So to cut to the chase, here were my exact reactions when I saw it:

"WTF! You woke me up to show me this?!" 


"Damn. Results so chui. Totally unexpected." 


"Screw it. I'm going back to bed." 
"zzZ"


And that was about it. I can't even remember my own results. I shall go consult my phone now...

Ok, back. Ya... So my results. I don't feel like just throwing out my exact grades to the public and shame myself. All I can say is that my prediction was pretty spot on (check the old posts). For most of the predictions, just take the lower grade. :(

I did sufficiently ok for my 2 best modules, but it was not the best I could achieve. Super disappointed there. I thought I could finally get some 'A's. IS2101 was the worst major let down. I guess it wasn't unexpected. Over confidence, bleh. CS2100 was really totally expected. Though I was secretly praying for better, I have to be contented it was not a 'C'. Maths prediction was spot on, but effing disappointing too, mainly because the paper was so devastating.

I guess the whole paragraph above is kind of cryptic. But if you know me well, and you have read the previous posts, you can roughly make a guess.

So why indifferent? Well, because as terrible as I feel my grades were, they are leaps and bounds better than my semester one results. Yes kids, that's called an improvement. And with an overall CAP increment of 0.45. So as much as I am disappointed, I really can't complain too much. It is pretty far off from my initial all 'A's target though... Haiz. What can we do when it's all over right? So I don't really care about it much anymore. All I can tell myself is: "Good job. Do better next time."

Next time eh. I'm not even sure what modules I want to be taking next semester. Probably Accounting. And what else? Time will tell.


what a suitable song...

Fade Away lyrics


Can somebody show me
How to live that way?
'Cause it's easy
To hide your face
When everyone looks the same
Simply living
Color coded
Now that I match your look
Can everything be OK?

And I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly
And I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly

'Cause this night is for the chances
So dance around the crashes
Just to survive, to survive
'Cause these wounds will hide and
Blood will dry
But, Baby, we're still alive
Tonight

I don't wanna fade away
Like the songs in sad stories
Something to lose
And angels and demons
Have nothin' left to prove

Well, I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go quickly
And I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly

'Cause this night is for the chances
So dance around the crashes
Just to survive, to survive
'Cause these wounds will hide
And blood will dry
But, Baby, we're still alive
Tonight

I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up
I wanna wake up now

And I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly
'Cause this night is for the chances
So dance around the crashes
Just to survive, to survive
'Cause these wounds will hide
And blood will dry
But, Baby, we're still alive
Tonight

I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly
I don't wanna fade away
Let the days go so quickly

Joy.
