It's over! Well, almost.
Wednesday, November 25, 2009


With the closure to 207 (i hope wont tabao), i would like to declare that exams has more or less ended. Although there's still 258 and 231, nothing will be quite like 207 (at least for now). It goes beyond the usual remembering of concepts, linking them and applying simply because there seems to be soooooo much to remember. I've spent many sleepless nights and i think it's the first academic orientated subject that i'm complaining about. And if there is one take away, is that 207 has reminded me the importance of starting early and studying smart. Some things, just need time. No way around it.

With that, i'll also like to declare that it's been my best semester so far. Academically, i felt challenged and learnt a lot. I've always believed that competition breeds excellence and that is probably why i never ever complain when others are better. Creative sparring sessions in 258, 232 and ESPECIALLY 231 has been exciting. It's been draining, we've been bitching, but it was good. What makes it better is that it's friendly competition. We do not go all out to slit each others throats or undertake underhand methods like "hog(ging) onto cameras refusing to let others borrow so they can get the proper grades required," [jeremy's note]. Seeing all these great works from my juniors, peers and seniors have inspired me. And i thank all of you for that. Like jeremy said, all the little sharing sessions here and there has been uber useful and the environment we are creating here is really awesome.

There has been discussions this sem about the idea of what should we be judged on and graded on. My question back is, at the end of the day, what do you really want? To each their own. Let's not judge others based on what they want. We are all grew up differently (think field theory), and have the right to our own views and expectations. Like ivan commented in a particular fb status, "make love, not war".

Out of school, things have been fairly good as well. Much better than the other sems at least. Although i think i've been neglecting dance quite a bit ever since term started proper. And i apologize to my friends whom i've kinda disappointed. I know you missed my presence!! (haha) Dancetitude was great fun and i would definitely do it again if i can afford to.

I've completed the rout of co-curricular activities that i've set out to do for university with the closure of DnD and anything that comes by now will be a bonus. i've learnt, i've experienced, i've influenced, and i will continue doing so.

I've travelled, i've made new friends, got closer to some, i've learnt to see again, i've gained hope and assurance, i gained comfort and many more. INSTEP is just new sem and i can't wait to go out there and collect more 'experiences'.

For the rest of the papers. all the best guys!

How much is too much?
Friday, November 13, 2009

Today i saw a friend cry in class after the tutor criticized her work. He wasn't harsh or anything, but i believe it was cause she put in a lot of effort in her work.

At the end of the day, what makes a good piece of work?
Tutors requirement? Or commercial success? Personal triumph?
Just how much is too much? And how much should we be prepared for criticism?

I guess it's anyone's take. There has been much talk about this in school lately, about syllabus issues, unfair grading and all. For me, at the end of the day, it's what you want. As i quote myself from a comment i made earlier, "if you want the grades, conform to the requirements and do your best to pick up whatever you can. if you want to take risks, be prepared for the best/worst. if you wanna get a taste or it, fuck the grades. if you just wanna use the opportunity to do what you want, fuck the grades as well. if you wanna make a change, do something about it, write in or something."

That aside, i'm really glad i took up Com 231 & 232 this sem, and i'm thankful for being in the tutorial classes i'm in. Seems that my tutorials always seem to have a lot of good work and people. It was challenging, but at the end of the day, i learn and i push together with my friends. It was a journey of self realization as well. I learnt stuff i'm ok at, bad at, good at, and stuff that i like and dislike. Grades can come later. =)

Seeing something someone did reminded me that i've forgot to dream for a whole sem. Been so caught up with activities, schedules and targets that i missed out something so dear to me.
