Licking my wounds

The day started off pretty badly today. Jon was UBER-ly late during this critical time in our crit and presentation session. Kairi remained cool as a cucumber while Kar Weng and I were about to tear Jon's brains out until he appeared practically 40 minutes late. But when he finally did show up, we brushed aside our emotions and our feelings dissipated. We fixed the costume on him and were whisked off to the 'runway.'

It poured heavily this morning which further drenched my already soaked mood. It wasn't anyone's fault, not the team and not even because of Jon's tardyness. I guess I felt I could have contributed or rather, worked harder for this project. But what really counts is that we worked as a group and we gave it our best shot.

To make matters worse, things didn't go very well for the presentation session either. When it comes to superheroes, the colision between what's reality and what's fiction can be so great that it sometimes leaves the audience with a question mark stuck in their expression. Only a few groups managed to survive when the axe fell and I must admit that they did a terrific job.

Our lecturers kept throwing questions at us which we could not justify and worst of all, they pitched teams against each other. But apparently this is what is to be expected. So I guess our group must just lick our wounds and look forward the way we do assignment after assignment. I musn't hang on to my past mistakes as they've been commited and they are there for a reason: for me to learn. The same thing applies to not clinging on to my past successes.



I think I ate beef the other day. I was out at Marche, The Curve to celebrate the birthday of my aunt (the uncle whom house I am staying in's sister-in-law). It was a good place to go. A great variety of food. I had a salad, grilled salmon and lemonade. I was also offered 2 slices of pizza. When I was going through the second slice I came to notice a piece of pepperoni poking out. I didn't ask if it was beef coz' I didn't wanna waste food, so I just ate it up :)

Stay tuned for more.

cool as a CUCUMBER!? lol. hey anyway I had fun with you guys. Great experience. And you guys are awesome. ^^

Yea and I agree that we could have make the suit better than just a "ok" work. We did not solve the problem the first time when there's no comment. And it's not right for her to have no comment and leave us like that. If she knew there's a problem she should tell us.

hope we do well in our next assignment. tc yo.

Yes, you were pretty calm lah.

Yeah, I wished the lecturers gave more feedback during the progression stages of our suit. Shahrul wasn't much of a help. But it was great working with you too!
