randomed: i want an iPhone! iPod touch wouldn't be too bad either=)

hols..?

term over is over!! at the risk of being extremely cliche, well, time really flies. there is of course our finals, but for those with only one exam, perhaps it doesn't matter as much. i will, of course, be trying my best to mug=x

anw, it's been a really packed term, though seniors may beg to differ, compared to theirs. in any case, i have never, at any one point of the term thus far, regretted my decision to come to SMU SIS=) i love what i'm doing now - though not necessarily BGS / AS, which i still think are useful despite not liking it - firstly, because i think it's really relevant to industry, and secondly, because i do really like what i'm learning. after all, everyone did say to take something u like in university, and now, i certainly agree.

BGS (Business, Government, and Society) is one hell of an ambiguous module, and one we gotta know how to crap, and crap fast. i've never been too good with crapping (lol that's why i dropped history as soon as i could right?), but it's necessary, i do believe, as basis for future modules tt i'll take in future. not so much as an actual business module, but it's a guide for us when we actually make decisions in future (like, we should at least appear to be ethical).

AS, is yet another confusing module. i like its aims - to help us think faster and more logically, to analyse an argument for it's validty and soundness - it's definitely of use.. IF we manage to apply it. it's going to take some time=x

learning new things are tough, especially when some of the ppl around u know so much already, but we can do it. each of us have our own strengths right? i mean, that's why there're so many projects and stuff, isn't it? one of the aims is to learn how to make use of each team member's strengths and help overcome their weaknesses. of course, not everyone is willing to admit their weaknesses, which is where attitude matters. especially in the world of IT, where each new technology is so quickly enhanced and replaced (SIS ppl: technological discontinuity lol=p), we've just gotta pick up stuff quickly. and if some ppl just don't want to learn, but leech upon others instead, they simply lose out. that's not to say that we shouldn't help others, but rather, help at the right time, in the right way.

lol i'm in a writing mood today, eh?

ok, change of subject. on to my favourite topic - Mac.

was walking in Sim Lim yesterday and i re-realised that Mac totally rocks~! hahaha=pp i'm so totally in love with the Mac desktop!! like, i only knew yesterday that Mac doesnt actually have a CPU, and is just a 'monitor' all-in-one! heh am i that slow? anw, it just rocks=D i'll get for my next desktop manz=DD hee.

well, i did experience a small crisis of sorts with my Mac today, BUT it's not an inherent problem, simply a problem with some files i downloaded. no problem after a boot in safe mode, and a restart=) i love my mac still=) though i wish i now have leopard, and 4GB of RAM=S lol.

by this christmas/birthday, i am so going to have Mac OS X Leopard, Wacom graphics tablet, another external hard disk (500GB and above if possible), and maybe even a nice pair of speakers to connect to my darling macbook. hmm. and 4.0GPA. lol. ohwell, i can only aim for it. my BGS and AS is so sucky right now, and i can't imagine myself writing java for IS200. craaap.

ok i'm panicking.

happy holidays
