Same Story, Different Setting
But it was still pretty awesome.
I really love Zach Galifianakis (woot I can spell his full name now). He's such a great comedian. I watched "Due Date" as well and it was hilarious. There's just something about him that makes the film appealing. Haha. Anyway, the sequel was a little bit more raunchy (if you have watched it you'll still remember the grossed-out parts) but the plot was pretty much predictable. You kinda know what's gonna happen next. Hopefully the third film in this franchise ends somewhat differently with a more unique plot. Looking forward!

A Fresh Clean Slate
I'm so thankful that I managed to pass all my modules.
And I might have realised what has caused my so-called "downfall".
Complacency.
Yes, I was probably getting a little complacent and thought that things would turn out the way I thought they would. But of course they didn't, and I was steered off-course.
For HP101, I thought the MCQs were gonna be a little more straightforward. I thought the short-answer questions were really short-answer questions. I thought the lecturer wouldn't test something that isn't that much psychology-based. I was wrong.
For CBC214 (especially), I thought the standard of the paper would be similar to the previous year's. I thought that I would be able to figure out the solutions by referring to the notes like I did during the mid-term. I thought that enzyme kinetics would not appear in the paper because it was only a small section and the lecturer only completed it in the nick of time before semester ended. I was wrong.
For CBC216, I thought that those graphs we plotted would not be tested. I was wrong.
For the HW102A critique assignment, I thought I'd do fine based on my own standards and didn't bother asking my peers to look through and edit it for me like others did. I was wrong.
So you see, complacency has led me to the worst results of my entire university life.
But I'm determined to make it right from now on. As I always tell myself, "Everything happens for a reason", hence I feel that THIS whole debacle is a wake-up call for me. A loud one at that too.
I guess I'm starting on a fresh clean slate, and I really hope that this lesson sinks in my head real deep.
Time to get that GPA up where it should belong.
Ok so timetable planning has started and I must say that the choices for this semester are pathetic. I need to find another module and one for back-up. It's not easy! Plus I thought that Entrepreneurship will be available next semester but it isn't! Gosh.

Time Of My Life
It's like I haven't been to a cinema for half a year and now I'm watching movies like there's no tomorrow. Caught "Kung Fu Panda 2" yesterday!
I thought it was AWESOME. Albeit slightly short in duration (84 minutes). But it was action-packed and funny as hell. Jack Black is a genius!
Rating: 4.5/5
Been wanting to post the next 2 movies I've caught since last week but was too damn lazy to do so.
"Paul" was really, really hilarious. It had a common storyline, but it was still nicely executed. There was a twist near the end of the film too!
Rating: 4/5
Another comic book superhero! Well, I thought it lacked a little punch. A proper badass villian. Loki was...meh. And I still stand that the first 30 minutes of the film was the best part.
Rating: 3.5/5
Went to Tampines yesterday with my Sis to eat Popeyes. Don't ask me why the hell I went all the way there to eat Popeyes because I kinda regret it now. The chicken was disappointing! KFC beats it hands down. The fries wasn't anything spectacular either, they taste exactly the same as McDonald's twister fries. Sad.
