I just feel bad about all the papers that I have just took recently for finals. (electronics, mechanics of material, biomaterials)
As for mechanics of materials, one of the subjects which I really work hard for this sem (countless tutorials done + extra questions that I did personally without the tutor asking me to do), I suspect a grade B or even B- would emerge after adding everything (quizzes, mid term and homework), due to my inability to do the final paper well. Just glad that the weightage for finals is not high (45%). If not, I am totally screwed.
For biomaterials, I have always suspected that they would come out techniques, which is something that I have attempted to memorize and memorize all over again, but actually failed to do so since that part is TOTALLY boring. In the end, they really come out those type of questions, and I could just only bang whatever that I think is correct. A probable B or B+, depending on luck. :(
Electronics... Perhaps my biggest weak point is circuit analysis part, where I always fail to get the answer correct even in my own personal practice (tutorial + certain questions). Well, the final paper didn't deviate much from the past year, but as usual, my first question sucks since my fundamental concepts really isn't there. Probably B or B+ since the other questions was 'okay'.
For culture transition, my elective, probably can get S even though I crap a lot. Hope so. I am lucky that I actually S/U that subject.
Still have 2 more papers to go, which is biomolecular + fluids. For biomolecular, I have to really sit down and memorize the second part since I screwed up the mid term. Probably another A gone. As for fluids, no comments. Depends on luck, on whether I can actually do any of the questions during finals. Being able to do tutorial questions doesn't mean you can do the final well (proven in MoM). But will still put in my very best (even though it may not be up to other people's standard)
Perhaps this sem would be a repeat of last sem, whereby I fail to get even a single A for my core subjects. (well, it's already normal to me. What can be worse than last sem huh?)
Honestly, I am really disappointed with my inability to compete with others. Hope that by the time I graduate, I could still get a job with a second lower degree (or third class), which doesn't look good at the moment. Seriously, why must I face so much failure in uni?!!!
I see the future is bad for me at the moment. Just didn't see any sense of hope with a third class or second lower degree.

Reposted from this blog. Feel that what she post is really encouraging. Thus, thought of sharing it here. Enjoy. :)
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...
Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson had long hair and was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David had an affair and was a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
John the Baptist ate bugs
Peter denied Christ
The disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer...AND
Lazarus was dead!
No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential. Besides you aren't the message, you are just the messenger. And now here are a few points to ponder.
******************************************************************
1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
2. Dear God, I have a problem, it's me.
3. Growing old is inevitable, growing UP is optional.
4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
9. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
12. The most important things in your house are the people.
13. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
Good advice right? I like point 7 and 13. Really something to ponder about. :)

Just discovered this. Actually, was a bit curious a few weeks back on how the like button came about.
So, guess what?
Yes, you got it right. I GOOGLE. If you do not know anything, the best way to solve that is by googling. :)
Anyway, putting the like button isn't that difficult. Pretty easy in fact. And it's a good way to relieve some stress which I am facing currently especially on MoM and fluids.
Come to think of it.. I just realize something. I am pretty alone when I am studying/doing tutorials. Thus, if I do not know how to do certain questions, there's practically no one for me to ask except by emailing the lecturer or google. Not a good thing to be done in uni.
But sadly, what can I do except to do it independently? Asking seniors isn't going to help as they have probably forgotten everything. :( Somehow, I just wish that one day I would be able to find a group which I really belong to, where thoughts could be shared, but that's merely a wish.
Okay, back to doing hard core mechanics stuffs. 1 more week to final. :(
