應考

Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer...


One more paper and I'm done, "done" not "done for"... Quite disappointed for my maths actually, There were a few questions a totally didn't know how to do... There goes my first class... Better do well for this last one, Introduction to Computing and the Internet, all theory about computers and networks... Memorizing is not my forte, but computers are... Wonder if they would negate each other...

Finally finished learning "童話", there are a few places where I'll be out of breath, need to practice more and work out the singing part...

Stopped playing KalOnline, cause there seems to be some problem with my network... Been playing Rise of Nations lately, very nice game even though a bit outdated, it was a Game of the Year after all... Something to learn from this game maybe? I've been having troubles with 3d Studio Max... Realized it's very difficult to learn such programs myself... No change on the layout of this page, until I can at least come up with something presentable on that...

Someone once told me: "White is the best colour, just because it is so common, people think of it as boring." When a piece of paper is white, it gives the impression as official or uncreative... I like white (greatly influenced by my best friend), which is why this page is white... I believe white can also look nice... Pieces of art usually start on a piece of white paper... It is not plain, it is white...

不知死活

There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm...


Exams had started long ago and I'm already done with half of the papers... Still, I don't feel that kind of stress to make me study... I'm still playing games everyday, KalOnline and others keep me occupied the entire hours I'm awake... The fact that my brother and I play together makes it even more difficult to pull away...

A few days ago, I suddenly had the urge to play Michael Wong's "童話", so I went to find it's piano score... Now I'm almost done with the song, only the last part is left... I purposely found a score that alows me to play and sing along, meaning I won't be playing the melody... It's very easy cause it's like learning only half the song... The best thing about this score is the pitch, it's not as high as the original song's, so I wouldn't have much problems hitting the high notes...

Feeling hungry now, I'll grab something to eat then carry on my training in KalOnline...

志願

Ambition is not what man does, but what man would do...


My ambitions, or rather my dreams, are simple and what most people would consider impractical... First up is to be a performer, an artiste... This would always be my number 1 dream, just because I love being in the limelight... I am not embarrassed to admit that; honesty, is a virtue I've been developing quite nicely... For now, I am just an anonymous performer in a band, playing something which I have no passion for... Maybe when the keyboard arrives, that would change, but it is still not what I want the most... I want to sing, I love to sing, my passion is in singing... Over dinner the other day, our band director said he wanted to try different ways of performing and I suggested that I could sing... He said it was a good idea, but I hope he seriously means it...

My second ambition is a little bit more practical, to make games... I want to be involved in the development of a "Game of the Year" title... That is the reason why I chose this degree even though it isn't related, it was the closest one I could find... For those non-avid gamers, you probably wouldn't know who developed Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo, but still I'll be happy if millions of people love something I have a hand in developing... This contradicts with my love of being in the limelight; I, myself am not so sure why I have such a strong desire for this... Maybe it's because I love playing games, maybe it's because I admire those that can make such magnificent pieces of art...

Today was the first paper for my first year's exams, E-Business, a theory paper which I could never score as I am unable to memorize large chunks of information... Passing wouldn't be a problem though, you'll only need a little intelligence to do that... Still I'm aiming for First Class Honours... A bit impractical? Awarding of Honours are based on the best 3 subjects of every year... I've already decided to pass this and score for my other 3 subjects... Considering I got 2 As, a B and an E for my mock exams, I think I'm right on track towards my goal... Next paper is Java, which is on this Friday... I should really go study, or my Honours will just be my fantasy...
