Passing time

I am now inside the space club room with nothing much to do. I will have to pass my JAL scholarship form later to its Singapore office and so in the meantime, I will just do some blogging. There isn't much to blog actually. There hasn't really been much drastic change in my life. The main difference this semester would be that I'm much busier with 6 modules to juggle and an overseas CIP project to commit to. There was also training for inter-faculty soccer but the tournament is over already. The science faculty team crashed out at the group stages after losing 1-0 to both SDE and Bizad. We won Computing 2-0 but it wasn't enough. The analysis was that we created enough to win but lost due to conceding stupid goals. I don't really agree with the analysis. True, we had our chances but overall, with our play, we don't deserve to go through. I felt that the overall play was disorganised. I couldn't see the overall shape of the team. There was too much individual play and possession was lost far too often. I have played enough to know that teamwork is really very important in soccer. A team with just average players who can pass the ball around is far harder to play against than a team that relies on a brilliant individual. I didn't play much in the IFG games, in fact I only managed 5 mins. It was a little disappointing but the decision doesn't lie with me. On to other things...Big Hands Bigger Hearts, my oCIP proj, is time-consuming with a meeting every week and various commitments to fulfil. Meetings are rarely efficient with too much time dragging butI guess that's the way meetings are like. My film art project is halfway to completion with the filming done. The filming took us many hours over a few days and it was not easy at all. Now I understand why movies take so long to film. Nonetheless, it was a lot fun filming with a great actress, great actor, director, little angel and of course a great cameraman, yours truly. The midterm tests are almost over and with the exception of Einstein, I did pretty well. I feel that I'm becoming someone that I don't want to be when it comes to these exams. I kept thinking of how other people must fare worst than me so that I can get better grades. I know I shouldn't think like this but it's the way the system works in University. Of course, I hope that everyone around me will score well too so that the atmosphere around will be a happy one. Hopefully, this semester will be a good one.
