I received a reply from prof. Yet, I still am not convinced. Okay, perhaps I did get a B initially as my lab1 can work, and in lab3, the non-working methods supposedly landed me in a C+. But the thing is, how did others get A- from a B when their items 6 and 7 can't work either, or at least one method is missing?

This is what kyoujou wrote:

"I have checked on your lab 3 marking and conclude that no change can be made. As mentioned in my email on the marking of lab 3, one will get around B if one gets lab 1 done perfectly. Your grade is C+ which is not far away from B. If you look at your lab 3 marking feedback sheet, you can find some marking on item 6 and item 7. These are the portions that result in lower mark awarded. Hence, your grade drops from B to C+."

Right...mine just happens to be selected on random, of course there are markings for item 6 -.- As for item 7, not my fault the hard copy turned out so horrendous that I got marked down very badly. If I can't change my results because of that, then I just have to work hard for my exam so that I can at least get a B-.

Lesson learnt: this course sucks. Or rather, the markers suck. Even if I lost two weeks of sleep and still screwed up 102!as2, at least it was better than these f***ed up tests.

Sigh...this is a bad academic year for me...

Monsters and Angels

Hellsing fic. Featuring AxI and the angels. Haven't the time to read all chapters, but hey, it's pretty interesting. I've always supported AxI, haha

Inspiration for VAS fiction? I've been wanting to write one, but haven't the time. Perhaps I'll write drabbles to introduce each character (the regulars) before I get to the plotless main storyline that is our weekly meeting, but infused with magical powers?

I see if I can come up with stories after exams, while in Taiwan...
Half a Millennium
This may be JapanXChina, but the language is awesome. Perhaps, in Hetalia, I can forgive all the BL (no choice. It's nations after all)

I haven't blogged in a long time, gomen ne. Next time it'll probably be in Japanese - preparation for my exam, lol.

I'm cursing all the lab work I've done so far. Everything went downhill since lab5. Screw lab7 too - what the hell happened to my code?!

Grievances of a report

I'm still not convinced. My lab1 works fine. The hard copy is not my fault. My lab3 test methods can't work, that's all. So why am I given such a low grade? I don't care about lab5/lab6 since I know I'll be happy getting C+ (nicer phrase to use than "I'll heck care the grades since I know it can't work". I'm just that nonchalant if I know it can't be helped - low grades are better than plagiarism. At least I have a clearer conscience), but there's nothing wrong with my lab1. If one is talking about lab3 alone, Yanling's methods couldn't work too, yet she had an A-. And Chui Eng too had an A-. So why?

I've sufficient comments in the code. The indentation and hard copy layout aren't my fault. Stupid printer And my choice of variables aren't complicated or incomprehensible. However, I was marked down on all three. How? Why? I will not back down without having them clarified. I don't care if I get a B or have them remain the same - I just want to know why I'm graded based on lab3 alone when I should at least get a B for a working-fine lab1. If you want more comments, I'll be happy to bombard the whole code with comments.

I'm not convinced at all.

And I haven't even gotten started with how the marker spelt my name wrongly...Funny, even with my 400 myopic degrees, up close I can still see read fine. Without glasses too.

Somehow I really question the abilities of humans...superior to animals because we have language, we adapt easily to our environment, we are sophisticated? Don't get me talking about the cowardly/evil/bestial side of humans that animals don't exhibit, and how we are the ones destroying our home planet. (Stop blaming the cows for methane release!)

But I digress. From this onwards, I'll make sure to flood my code with comments, so much until they can't complain.

My heart has hardened further. Soon, I'll be a demonic Mistress of the Blade, perching in between light and dark...

For the first time ever, I dressed up. As a Shinigami of Gotei 13. First Aizen, then Gin, then Byakuya, then back to Gin (since they like me as Gin). Well, if we're to form a Bleach cosplay team for next year, we've some posts done.

according to squad before the betrayal of Aizen, Gin and Tosen:

Yama-jii
Soifon
Gin - me ^^
Unohana - Lizzy
Aizen, Momo - Denise
Byakuya - Pei Shan, Abarai
Komamura
Shunsui - Venessa's friend, Nanao - Gillian
Tosen,
Hitsugaya - Venessa's friend, Matsumoto - Silk
Zaraki, Yachiru - Pei Shan's friend
Kurotsuchi
Ukitake - Venessa's boyfriend

Yoruichi - Venessa
Urahara - Weiliang?

Not sure about the others. Still recruiting. Anyway, it's just an idea. ^^ But it'll be cool though - I like Gin even though he's so Fuji. XD And my favourite Bleach pair is GinRan. Well, other than AizenUnohana (Unohana pwns. She's freaking strong. Even Aizen acknowledges her strength), ByakuyaHisana...and I may discover more het pairings. ^^

Currently I'm doing my e-learning for CSC104. Screw CSC106 - I can't find the lecture videos at all (even if the topic looks familiar...)

I want to make my own flele! But I need to know how to use Photoshop first, lol. Not that good with a mouse XP So I suppose I better start designing my own chibi characters and the actions they'll be doing. =) Lots of expressions, lol. Actually, don't need so many. Just more dress-up enough =) I don't want hand movements too except for petting head. *pets Tieria's head*

Hmm...I may add Soul Eater and Beezelbub to my manga read list. I saw the Soul Eater cosplay, and there's one character Dr Franken Stein who simply reminds me of Cross Marian and is absolutely awesome. Evil, mad and someone I can get along with (I seem to be a double agent, though in fact I'm just sitting on the fence and siding with no one)...provided he doesn't express his wish to examine me and stitch me up...

I downloaded my Flele. So cute! Since I don't know much about vocaloid, I went to search for anime flele. So far I have Greece, Meistoids (Meisters + vocaloids XD), Zero, Sebastian, Hibari and Tsuna. I'm waiting for more chibi flele, Hetalia or otherwise (Austria and Hong Kong please). If not for my lousy drawing and colouring skills, I would probably take up the challenge of making several myself, complete with dress-up and artifacts. Reminds me of those paper dolls that I used to have during my childhood, lol.

In fact, after my exams, after I get back from Taiwan, I will try to make one. Most probably handdrawn, lol. My favourite flele is actually Tieria, and he's now ticked off at me for ruffling his perfect hair XD I LOVE Hibari's reactions when I rub his head - so funny! Especially Kamikurosu. ^^ Haha, Hibari~!!

Gotta do my lab. I've been searching for flele shells, which is quite limited. Considering how hard it is to make them...I understand.

Currently attending the lunchtime concert in LT19 by NTU String Oke. The NutCracker, Swan Lake, Scott Joplin and Gershwin. My favourite is Swan Lake, no duh. And Waltz of the Flowers from Nutcracker. But I miss the trill by the flute XD Listening to the full orchestra is still better (especially OSTs. Awesome), ah, but I don't mind band too. What do you call an orchestra with modern instruments like the electric guitar and drums? Rock Oke? O.o I want to attend the FF concert next year!

I love this manga called Venus Capriccio!!! It's so awesome, so different from other shoujo manga, that it leaves a warm feeling inside. Me want to write fanfiction about this couple already!!! ><

AkiraXTakami (Takira) FTW!!!! Will write drabbles if possible.

Yuki-kun, be prepared...

The D-Motion by KAT-TUN is really a cool song! Auto tune or not, I like the mv. The members look really good! And I like the rolling of 'rock'. Rrrrrrrrock ^^

That aside, I really want to punch Yukimura in the face for being such a bastard. Using underhanded means just to achieve victory. Only Shiraishi has the real skills, the rest are out-of-this-world =.= He's sadistic, yes. Yukimura and Fuji and Shiraishi love plants, and Shiraishi is decent. Hopefully the two bishounen don't influence him.....then again, Shiraishi knows about POISONOUS plants...HMM....

My favourite Rikkai character is Yagyuu. Megane FTW! As for Yukimura, my opinion of him just plunged further -.- Pretty boy or not, he's just WTH when he goes all holier-than-thou in tennis. I can write him like that in my fanfic, and Kazuko can punch him for all she likes...*thinking of creating a scene for that event* But Yukimura's mini album is nice! Such a warm feel to the character, and that duet with Niou, did it come from Pair Puri? =)

Otome gokoro

Reading Otome Gokoro serves to tell us that some girls really need to get a life besides trying to break up relationships and causing misunderstandings. Hello, you reject all the guys who confess to you, then try to get their attention just so you could make a girlfriend jealous? I don't understand why they get a kick from doing such heinous acts. But I wonder, if I were to be involved in such a relationship where a so-called friend (I don't have such friends, thank kami-sama) flirts with my boyfriend and get down and dirty with all the tricks from dramas and books, how would I react? Will I feel insecure? Will I seem cold and uncaring? Will I act differently? I mean, seriously, the tactics these females employ are too cliche -.-" Flirting, attention-grabbing, trying to get the male into bed (either they do it or not), confronting the affected girlfriend with a smug look of triumph...

Fantastic drama. Now to write a fanfic out of it XDDDD *bricked*

I wonder if I could include this kind of plot in A Fujoushi Saga? Not that Kazuko will be entering a relationship anytime soon (with either Yukimura or Atobe), and Kairyu's chances of a relationship are slimmer and I'm still deciding who to pair Miura with, but the obvious villain is Yasumi. Oh, oh, OH! I got it! A hilarious twist to this kind of plot! XDD

I'm glad I wasn't involved in any shoujo manga plot (more shounen than shoujo, lmao XD).
I finally picked up Arago. Nice shounen manga, haha. I sense a plot brewing, but so far no mastermind yet. Nevermind, there're only 10 chapters so far, the villain must appear later ne? Spoils the whole show if he/she/it is revealed too early. Bah, Patchman-teme doesn't count. He's already dead.

HOW TO DO LAB5?!!?!!?! I mean, how to declare file as linked list and extract specific records? Then compute balance for positive and negative? I only wrote out the ideas, but to implement it is another problem. We aren't allowed to use ArrayList, otherwise our lives would have been easier. Then I still have to worry about Lab6 test 2 weeks later, on the first day of Arts Fiesta.

Me want Butterfly headphones! But I want my butterfly to be a Swallowtail. Is it possible? XDD

Laptop ga daisuki

Fixed my laptop by reinstalling Windows 7. ありがとうお父さん! Now to reinstall the programs and my files...

Now the problem: HOW TO DO LAB 5?!!?!! How to read the file and store as linked lists? How to compute balance?

Eh, cosplay on Arts Fiesta? I don't mind the butterfly headphones, but cosplay? As what? Me want to dress up as Shinsengumi, but Shinsengumi can't dance. I'll look hilarious. The great Shinsengumi-sama dancing. A perfect Gintama parody, lol.

Think I'll stick to hiphop style in case I want to try Bad Apple. Love&Joy is more for school uniform or vocaloid cosplay (if so, me want Kaito or Gakupo!). And we won't be getting the guys to dance Abracadabra, dang.

Biyaku cafe

I nearly forgot about this manga Biyaku Cafe which I read several years ago.
媚药咖啡店

Too many manga to take note of, haha. It's also troublesome to search for the Chinese raws for manga that I like when I don't even know the Chinese title.

I have time to read manga, but no time to watch anime. Wow. Considering that I spend less time read manga chapters...

Kamen Rider DCD

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker (Japanese Movie)

http://www.dramacrazy.net/japanese-movie/kamen-rider-decade-all-riders-vs.-dai-shocker/

It's here! It's here! IT'S HERE!!! The long-awaited ending to Decade series! ^^ Which reminds me - I haven't been watching Kamen Rider W. I stopped at episode 8 or something. And it has a cast of good-looking baddies, lol.

Is there another karaoke outing on Wednesday? Saa, I'm not sure. I want to do my lab5 and study 105.

I realise Sunako with her bangs look like Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke. ^^ Me love Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge already. And, hello, that guy Suna-chan liked is so, urgh, why would Suna-chan have liked him?! And Suzu-chan is such a, forgive my language, BITCH. Not just her, Suna-chan's classmates too. And it's always the best when four ikemen come to rescue her. Too bad the real world doesn't work this way. But what I like about this story is, even Kyohei with his extreme good looks was shunned somewhat because of his pretty face. Too much attention, too much trouble. Yep, love this kind of twist.

I like SunakoXKyohei. ^^ I like Takenaga for being so cool, Yuki-kun for being so cute, Kyohei for being such a bastard that is a common trait in shoujo manga protaganists, and Ranmaru for being such a flirtatous dork. XD

Pair puri vol 4

[Prince of Tennis] PairPuri Vol 4 Kikumaru x Niou cross talk Takahashi x Masuda [pg.27-30]

Oh, Niou! I knew he was a mischievous guy, haha.

Advisers

YES!!! TIME FOR KANTOKU FACEBOOK PROFILES!!!! *evil grin*

Data Tennis

Inui and Yanagi vote for each other. ^^ I would support Data Pair if I like BL - they would be my favourite pair besides D1 (the rest can go to hell, especially Pillar and Perfect which should be thrown into the eighteenth level). But as Pei Shan said, it's better to think of them as bi than homo. I prefer to think of them as hetero, except Koharu and Yuuji duh.

Inui: After this, the probability of having a serious discussion is...0%.

Oh Inui *hugs* My thoughts exactly! (look at all my Tenipuri Facebook profiles, full of serious business, random posts and utter crack) I should include this data stats into my profiles - 10% Juice, wtf, Inui O.o And 5% spitefulness, wtfh Mizuki =.= Oh, the next few profiles, I'm looking forward to them! Especially Profile 16 - with the newly gathered knowledge, I will conquer the yakiniku!
