hi blog

took up ccna course last week. went for the class on saturday morning. can you imagine that? classes on saturdays? the worst thing is that, my parents keep thinking that i'm going for remedials! dammit! the class's pace is freakily fast. being a year 1 with no DCN knowledge, i'm just a dummy in the class. i don't even know what are some of the students asking.

hais, i don't regret taking up ccna. at least not now. i just hope this semester can be least stressful as the previous. especially the module that is specially for project. oh talking about that module, it sucks. it really do. the only way to get participation marks is by doing quizzes given by the lecturer, sounds easy? thats not all. you have only a few minutes to do it, easy? and! only the first 15-20 students from around 40+ people will get to submit the answers. he don't care if it is correct or wrong. i think i'll just submit a 1/2f--ked piece of work for him, just to sabo the rest heh heh.

last semester was a mess. especially about projects, everyone was rushing to complete it. everyone was trying to protect their work as much as possible. well, being brought up in a very competitive environment, its natural for people to look for self-interests. at least i can say i did most of my work honestly.

then came the exams, didn't put 100% of my effort in it. how i wish i've put more effort. the only comforting words i can tell myself is that "grades are not everything". yeah. right. so. true. when you are a student, grades are - quite everything. you get assessed by lecturers. they ask for my gpa and i replied normally, they would just tell me that i might have less chances. when you are studying, in the process of it, grades are quite everything. i've only heard "high-flyers"/"scorers" being able to say "grades are not everything" without a blink. its the same for the phrase "money is not everything". of course it is not everything, but only the rich will say "money is not everything" and not add "but it can't buy love/happiness/something".

guess i'm just being very pessimistic about a lot of things lately. most likely due to my extremely long timetable which have adversly affected my social life. heh heh. got to get used to things. suck it up weikang, no use whining. alright, so to survive through this semester, i'll have to sacrifice a few things. my social life, my family life, and my personal time for myself. pretty cool eh? hmm, great success comes with great sacrifices right? erm, so after you sacrifice things, you gain some things, then you sacrifice it to gain some more things? erm. nevermind, it doesn't make sense. i don't have to.

i guess i'm out of rant juice. hmm, if anyone reads this post to this part. congratulations! you've just wasted a few minutes of your life! and i hope you don't feel pessimistic about school life as i do!
