18 days to exam.
5 modules to study for.
Countless topics.
Limited time.
And not to forget my "speech day" that will end my semester.
And the upcoming quizzes for the next two weeks.
It's none better than JC.
But I have to make the outcome better.

One of the advantages of going out alone is that you do not have to accomodate others. You do not have to smile, you do not have to make small talk, you do not have to spare a thought for others. And that was what I experienced when I went to the movies myself, went to the night market myself, went to the pub to listen to the live band myself, went to eat chicken rice balls myself. All the time for yourself. All focus on yourself. Finding yourself. Almost an indulgence. It was a good feeling. Did it once. Did it again. Will continue to do so from time to time.
Why? Because sometimes you are so tired of smiling and trying to be nice to others when others do not try to smile or be nice to you. Not a saint but you know you have tried to be good to others but others do not seem to try to be good to you; in fact, they begin to think you are a pushover. When every good seems to be forgotten and each bad remembered. When a sheet of white paper with a black dot is noticed only for its black dot. When whatever credit you thought you might have built up counts for nothing really.
I really don’t want to be calculative. But I really don’t want to be too accomodating either. How many can you accomodate in your life? How many would you like to accomodate in your life? Seriously, people who matter. I don’t want to be too accomodating. I’ll keep this at the back of my head. And continue to be the same, the way I deem right.
I saw this at Elvin Ng's blog and I find it very interesting, and true.

失而复得的感觉。。。原来是这样的。。。
Yesterday nearly ended with a nightmare. I realised my wallet wasn't with me during lunchtime. I'd lost it unknowingly. I thought I may have drop in the lab (before lunch was lab), and went back to search for it. I even traced back the route I took previously. However, it was a futile search. It was also not at the lost and found office.I was so depressed at that time. The monetary value of the wallet(and it's less than 3 months old), with the cash, ezlink card, cashcard, amount to more than $50. And if including the replacement of the i/c...omg...my heart almost jumped out when I think of the 3 figures sum...
I brought my almost-jumped-out heart to computing tutorial in the afternoon. I already gave up the thought of finding my wallet. Halfway through the lesson, I randomly went to check my NTU webmail.
"Hi Yu Tian,
I found your wallet. Pl call me at xxxxxxxx for collection.
Regards
DH"
My heart didn't jump back, but jumped even faster. This email just make me feel so excited. haha...I can imagine a scene of a torch being reignited.
I'm really very grateful to this person-Zhang Dao Hua(Assoc Prof). He found it at the corridor outside his office and even made the effort to call and inform me(I'm not sure how he got my contact). I went to collect it from him today. He is a very nice person and keep asking me to check if anything was lost. Everything was intact. Perfect.
幸好是虚惊一场,有惊无险。。。
A lesson learned. I will try not to be stubborn again.

I'm feeling very insecure of the effective communication group project. PW is much better. It's not
bcos of the grade, but the whole kind of feeling I get from it. PW was tough, but at least we had a common target and we were to a certain extent, quite committed to it. For this....
hmm...

The computing quiz today sucks. I dun like the feeling of getting it done in that way. However, the reality left me with no choice.
