as u might have noticed now, i've went to label all 436 posts in e past 2 weeks.. not a lot of posts acutually, if u consider e age of e blog and e fact tt ju-zi's current blog, which is slightly younger than this, just celebrated it's 870th post not too long ago.. anyway, e labelling wasn't done rigourously and may not actually be a good link with the contents of the post.. 2 of the links, lyrics and dreams, are shown in the sidebar.. for the full list of labels, it's only available to my co-authors, who den again i realised have become dormant in their blogging activities.. this is in contrast with e rather frequent posting they used to have back when this blog started..

quite some stuff to blog about actually.. might have to stop halfway to continue with it another day.. maybe i'll just start off with e shorter stuff..

finally leveled to 80 for maple just on sunday.. took e 2x exp opportunity during the weekend to level.. quite pissed about e fact tt although i've killed like 500+ male bosses, he only dropped me one stupid morningstar.. -.-

returned back to playing pangya also in the last few days.. to take part in this event.. realised tt taking a break from games is good sometimes.. esp for pangya i guess.. managed to break one of my course records and did some nice shots during my return to the game..

had a pretty long dream yesterday.. luv having long dreams.. anyway, i did some flying as usual.. although i was struck by the fly height limit thing.. which i might just take a while here to explain a bit.. if e flight starts off from the ground (as contrasted with walking off a high ledge), there's this height limit tt u can fly to.. i believe this limit is actually a psychological limitation and as a sort of response to the limitation, i changed the scene by imagining myself to be at a high altitude above the ground.. an instant jump from e height limit to e new altitude..

the dream was a rather interesting one in tt my subconscious brought back some very old memories which i have not thought about for a very long time.. also attempted to summon someone in my dream again.. but alas.. another failure.. had tried to imagine myself pulling someone's hand from around a corner, but all tt came out of it was me grabbing air..

so i'm back to continue with e longer 2nd half of this post.. think this post may very well be longer than my longest post thus far, which just for info, has 1671 words..

perhaps in response to wat i typed earlier, e male boss decided to be kind to me by dropping me a lvl 80 theif hat.. and an under-average at tt too.. -.- wth.. and ya.. i'm talking abt maple..

have quite some opinions abt certain things lately, more of them major and some of them minor.. will be discussing a few of them below..

e results for one of my module's project was out just not too long ago.. and my friend's group, having given one of their guys a low evaluation due to his freeriding behavior, was asked to meet e tutor to clarify on e matter.. before i go on, i'll just like to add tt i've heard my friends complain about this guy X even before the project submission.. X attended like only 10% of their meetings and contribution-wise, was really far from satisfactory.. while some of e reasons for missing e meetings were valid, e rest were just plain ridiculous.. consequently, their group's evaluation of him, by right, left him with e ability to only claim 65%? of their project's grade (which was A+ by e way).. tt works out to probably a B? grade..

so back to e consultation with e tutor, it ended up tt e tutor decided to let e freerider off and let him claim e full A+ grade.. tt was despite e fact tt e other group members were upset at e manner in which e freerider presented himself at e consultation and the defences which he had brought up.. and in e end, e tutor had all of them sign something, to have them agree to let e freerider share e same grade as them and accept e tutor's judgement..

when i heard about e outcome of e consultation, i was quite fed up really.. although i wasn't in their group.. if e tutors had really meant for peer evaluation to do e stuff tt it's supposed to do, den i believe such a lop-sided evaluation of X should have expectedly resulted in him receiving a lower grade than e other group members, even though it might not actually end up being 65%.. if e tutor had at e very beginning decided tt all group members will be getting e same grade, then he could just jolly well scrap the peer evaluation.. saves everybody's time.. totally screwed man.. i think if i were in their group, i could have just stomped out of e room when e tutor asked everyone to sign tt stuff.. facade man! facade.. and for e record, e freerider has a GPA of 4.7, a 1st class!.. wat on earth is e world coming to really? more on some other screwed aspects of e uni system later in e post..

last week saw e end of e marketing project and case presentations.. i wonder if e tutor was trying to be safe or wat, but 4 of e groups received A- B+ (albeit some received A- for e project, while some received A- for e case; e project carried 20% weightage and e case 10%).. and e 5th group got B+ B+.. my clique's 2nd group (my clique was too big, so we had to separate into 2 groups) was one of e 2 tt presented during last week.. throughout their presentation, i thought it was quite good and felt tt they actually had e potential to become e top group for our class by getting a A- A (they got e A- from their project earlier on).. but it turned out not to be and they got a B+.. and e tutor's explaination didn't help to answer my doubts as to y they didn't at e very least get an A-..

seems like i've once again not have enough time to complete e post.. time for Ah Wang on Chnl 8.. haha.. will continue with part 3 later..

haha.. so finally back to complete part 3.. or at least i hope to.. =x before i continue, wat's up with my co-authors? lol.. blogging again after i mention tt they have mia-ed for so long.. haha.. and bra's post is so long.. 1057 words..

guess now i noe y emu was so fed up with her project mates when she blogged abt them when she was still in her uni days.. i think she would have been more fed up if she knew abt e facade evaluation..

received back my company law assignment this week.. got an A.. not too bad.. although from wat i have heard so far, i don't noe of anyone who got worse than an A-..

got e following link from tty tt day.. quite hilarious.. Food Court Musical.. e main site for e organising party: Improv Everywhere.. did some searching and found out tt e singapore group would be doing a freeze on 31 may.. wonder where it'll be.. anyway, i watched some of their earlier missions and i think tt in order for e impact to be really there, they should really need to get more ppl to take part..

was actually feeling quite depressed e day before tax quiz.. stared at e paper for like hours.. e feeling tt u're fighting a lone battle really sux.. sometimes really hoped tt there was someone there to talk to..

will be traveling to hokkaido after exams with my family.. cool.. time for heavenly food, heavenly weather and heavenly service.. godlike.. drools.. haha.. looking forward to it..

haha.. seems like this post is still a little shy of 1671.. only 1368 words..
