i made it by 0.01!!


jang jang jang! results came out on 17 June and I MADE IT!!!!!!! i got my 2nd upp by 0.01!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  some of you guys know that the fight was real man. if i had 1 A-, i'd grad with 3.98. 

in this final sem, EAS499 is the capstone FYP and for the last 2 cohorts, the highest was A-. ICT133 and ICT162 are python mods. i had 0 prog knowledge to begin with and students have trouble clearing ICT133. So initially, i was just aiming to pass it or smth. it was really all out or nothing.
at first i was like.. ok, just try my best for my FYP, then we see how the programming mods go.
then after my TMA submissions and results, i realized, eh, actually can fight for A eh. then left with capstone. coz to get A is really almost impossible. wah. i really got ppl from the industry to support my fyp and i really pushed it max. the vid presentation do until power power.. edit until like better than my travel vlogs. hahahas 

so after both the exams and capstone presentation, i felt like ok.... good job sportspoon. even if i dont get my 2nd upp, its ok. coz i really gave my ultimate best so if really have to 3.98, u can regret about your situation and not about ur efforts. hahahahs. i mean i think if i didnt' fail Analogue in yr 1, my GPA will be 4.13, and i wouldnt need to fight until like this for this final sem.

the night before 17 June, i was damn apprehensive. i kept checking my email, in case they send early or smth. hahah. u know its like, sometimes u put in so much effort ah, u know that it's gg to turn out well kind. even if it doesn't turn out well, u know that u're gg to be proud of the effort u've put in kind. this is just so so so great. its been awhile since i'm this happy. and if you can see below, other than the first sem, i'm always below 4.0. 



so yea. what's even more surprising is i got A+ for python OOP. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. from struggling to pass to this. but i really practiced the lab 2-3 times each. i even crashed other tutorials online lect just to see other ways of programming a qns. also thanks to COVID and CB period, i was at home all day coding. no trngs or distractions or whatsoeva. i even had abit of night time to watch netflix. ahahhs


so really, thank God! its really by God's grace. i mean the prog mods are really by sheer effort. but the capstone project ah... its really by His Grace. this kind of open ended qns ah... want to score A is u really need that bit of grace. but this is really alot of grace.

i'm so happy until now like i'm scared abit coz everytime i'm happy, something's gg to happen.. or like taken away from me.  hmm. one of the disappointing note is that i realized, i forgot to apply my moe bursary for this Jan semester. i applied for this coming Jul sem, thinking that it was for the Jan sem. so its about $1k gone. govt also changed this from the former $675 to $1280..... from moe bursary to aka Higher Education Bursary. wasted uh. like if only this amount is like this in year 1. could have saved so much money. but yea. thank God the money struggles are over too. no more sch fees to pay after grad.


recently, i've also been thinking about u more again. i wonder how are u.. or like would u be proud of me and all. mehhhhhhhhhhhhh. but the good thing is, this year round, i really feel that i've moved out of the darkest pits. i'm fine with those memories and missingyous coz they dont haunt me like they did. they're just thoughts. good and bad thoughts that made me who i am today. i'm really proud of myself for coming this far coz i dont have to fear disappointing anyone. i'm enjoying this freedom and like, the only person who can look down on myself and no one else. :) its really a good year.

on a side note, we're in Phase 2 of CB now. and that means can makan outside. somemore, this wkend is father's day. lets just hope there's no phase 2 covid. pls continue to be kiasee ppl, bcoz i think that's one of the most effective reasons that singapore can do well in such pandemic.

okok byesssss. :)
