EXtremely.Amazing.Matters

(11/01/12)
So my second year, first semester of exams has started.
Todays' paper was Separation Process 1, didn't go well.
Every question was left hanging halfway.
As usual, didn't know I had to answer only 3 out of the 4 questions. Anyway, it didn't harm if i did 4(maybe equivalent to only 1 when all the
answers i wrote are added up), because the best 3 out of the 4 questions answered will be considered.
No wonder i didn't have enough time to finish the exam, was panicking towards the last half hour of the exam.
Negative thoughts started pouring in.
Thought that i wasn't suit to be in engineering, thought that my chances for the exchange program to the UK Campus is nil,
thought that i would fail this exam and had to resit for it.

Did i study hard? Yes i did. Did i try my best? Certainly. Who to blame? Nobody but myself.

Coursemates said that the paper was difficult anyway, sure made me feel a little better.

Felt disappointed since some of the questions were repeated from the Past Year Paper.
I absolutely did all the past year questions, but somehow i just forgotten at the last minute.

Preparing for the next paper now. Will continue to try my best : /

Particle Mechanics was good today. As expected, questions consisted mostly of definitions and explanation.
We were told beforehand that we had to memorise the equations, they are not provided in the exams.

Before entering the exam hall, everybody could be seen memorising their equations, murmuring, moving their lips without making any noises,
staring blankly at the ceiling or the wall, trying to memorise ALL THOSE equations.

After all the effort of memorising those bloody equations, I remembered only solving one question using an equation. Besides that, that particular equation was provided.

2 more papers to go before i can revert back to the old me. I miss doing normal things and basketball.

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
