Tiring day

Today is pretty a tiring and distressing day. I had some conflict with Jia Yan that made me feel very angry. Knowing that posting bad things about other people especially my friend online is not very wise, I will skip the details and just say that it is quite an annoying thing, maybe due to conflict of ideas and way of thinking.

My personality is to do everything slowly but putting in heart and soul into it, producing a good piece of work. Jia Yan's personality is to finish everything asap so as to get rid of the sense of the burden of responsibility. I would say that both aspects are not wrong, and it depends on the situation. However, we still have a good one and a half week left for our presentation. Yet we have to rush the prezi by what seems like end of the day and even sacrificed our recess...

Jia Yan did the prezi and I appreciate her efforts very much. There is just some parts in the prezi that makes it look very unprofessional as overusing of pictures and colours and clumping of words have obstructed the points we are trying to get across, which is the main purpose of a presentation. I understand that making changes requires a lot of time, but I feel that since we still have some time left, it is worth it to change to meet quality standard. Maybe the look of the prezi isn't very important to Jia Yan, as she is focusing more on the content. However, as a very visual person, I simply cannot stand a bad piece of artwork. Maybe that's where the conflict start.

Nevertheless, I think we are cool. Can't believe that this stupid presentation can stir up so much negative emotion. Conclusion: doing presentations on topics that I have absolutely no passion about is pure torture

Note to Jia Yan if you are ever seeing this (maybe accidentally):
Sorry I didn't mean to say that you are not good. Just take this as a meaningless ranting because I just have to vent this uncomfort in my mind somewhere. After this incident, we are still good friends :)

I cannot think of a title. Nyan cat?

Hi. I'm back.

No, I'm not going to continue with the journal thing. Cos it's 1 months away already, and school reopened, and I'm too lazy to write.

This really shows how inconsistent I am. I don't even trust myself nowadays.

Anyway, today I'm going to write about sth that is epic, like the answer to life, universe and everything.

Nope, that is sth too simple to write on. The answer is obvious: 42.

So, I'm going to write about sth very small instead.

S.M.P.

Today there is some misunderstanding, and I thought that we have to quit SMP. I was shocked, distressed, and in great pain and regret until I realised that there's still phase 2 application. Therefore, most likely we will still be able to apply. This made me realise sth. I used to take the smp for granted and thought that it's confirmed we can get a project, so I did not put a lot of heart and soul into it. After I've gone through all of these today, I really really treasure this opportunity now. It's like those people who have gone through a life and death situation and now living their life everyday to the fullest. I shall apply the same thing to my smp, and will really work on it with enthusiasm from today onwards.

Phew.
