sorry
Sorry for the lack of updates. Actually, I have a lot of topics to talk about but they accumulated and I got too lazy to fill 'em in. Like
makeup reviews :(
So I'll just post the short ones first.
My workload got heavier but I will try to update. I update my
tumblr and instagram a lot more than here.
geeky
I was singled out as (or at least, they implied that I was) a
weak programmer among my group, by a teacher who hadn't seen me/us write a line of code. They said the rest of my group were "
clearly geeks" while I was just
the "artist"... and that they were "much stronger programmers". I felt maligned, and told them my grades for all my programming subjects. They apologised, but now I feel scared of being judged and stereotyped.
We have to put a photo up for our software engineering project manual and I wanted to put a photo I thought I looked pretty in but I chose a photo with glasses instead, to look more "geeky".
I don't want my marker to think I didn't do anything for it because I don't look like a programmer.
Lol this is the geekiest photo I could find in my repository.
I liked this..
After all, me with glasses is closer to the "passionate programmer" stereotype. The passionate programmer who lives for code, and abandons appearance, hygiene and social life to code. Which i think is ridiculous... who is actually like that?!
Stereotypes are harmful.
edit: oops, here's a little bit of context. My teacher is actually quite nice. She said those things because she noticed I didn't participate much in an online discussion. I think she didn't have any bad intentions, though it seemed a little hasty to conclude that I was a weaker programmer from the discussion. And then I got reminded of this article,
the asian male computer programmer privilege.
CS2105
Wow, I actually got
B+ for CS2105 Introduction to Networks.
It's all thanks for
my TA really. He is fucking nice!!
I was failing all the way before finals, so I must have done really well for
finals. And I couldn't have done it without my TA's help.
I did work hard for finals. So I'm
really glad.
Also, I don't remember a thing I learned for the module.
CS3240
I met my
CS3240 Human Computer Interaction professor in the lift with my friend. She said "hi".
I asked how she recognised us... and she said she remembers my drawings.
And that I'm her
top student!!
OMFG....!!!! I had no idea!!!!!!!
I topped a module..!!!!!!!!!!!
She said a few people got the same grade as me but marks wise I was the top...
WOOOOWHAGSHAGSHJAGJFLA
I am so harpee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if she likes me, or if she would have me, but I really wouldn't mind doing research in Interaction Design for FYP. ( TwT);;
Applause
I asked a question in EL1101E lecture today.
The teacher said it was out of syllabus but it was interesting I asked it.
He started explaining the concept...
And drew stuff on the whiteboard.
I was like omg no this has gone too far :((
And then he said asians should speak up more and ask questions during lecture. He was very happy.
And then he asked the whole lecture hall to applaud me.
I was like
pls FUCK NO
And Kintan was laughing at me T_T
But honestly, I find it ironic because I'm usually the last person to speak up. So I'm pretty proud of myself for actually voicing out something!
Also the lecturer is so cute. He's japanese, and I find it so cute that we get to call him Sato Sensei for an
English module. :')
my house :)
photos
I love this dress~!
FINALLY a cloud dress.
My hair when it's in a bun.
I finally have a curler. I'm not very used to using it yet.
I can't believe koreans have a serum for GROWING eyebags now.
I thought they were bad omfg. I don't get the beauty industry
School stuff.
pokemon
I have a 3DS now. I am playing
Ace Attorney and
Pokemon X ^^
I play so much... My friend said it's gonna destroy me this sem ._. Maybe if I play more.. I can complete
this game faster...??
I must say the
graphics and animation for pokemon has improved by 700%. They even animate pokemon fainting. And every single pokemon for pokemon Amie.
My street pass comment is
"wow such street". I love it when people reply
"very pass" lol.
My fennekin (now delphox) is called Oh SHIT, he.
My name. I am so creative right
I just love pokemon
my most liked fb post
...much proud
driving
I went for refresher driving courses in the holidays.
It went alright.
The instructor actually told me my driving is "quite good."
I said I'd sign up for more lessons soon.
And he said I didn't need them because
I was already quite good.
I don't know if it's true but it certainly makes me feel a lot better after the accident happened. I am less afraid to die on the road.
But sometimes I still get anxiety when I see cars and buses... they are just killing machines in my eyes. :(
gimme.sg
I chanced upon this site: www.gimme.sg
