FTP

I thought I'll want to let out a little yulp of happiness silently in the heart today after submitting my exam scripts, but no, guess what. I screwed up big time. And I think I am secretly prepared for one supplementary paper. Its okay, I know I've tried my best and it was stupid on my part today to make the most number of careless mistakes in my life. I hate figures. I love words. I hate calculations. I love reading and writing.

For the past one week, my neck hurts. My head hurts. I was mentally drained, and I feed on mostly plain water and sleeping pills. School was tough as hell. You all know how much I hate my course, don't you all. I can never comprehand what I am studying. But I still find ways to comprehand them somehow. Engineering was never my cup of tea and 3 years in an engineering course was hell. A whole load of computer programming was way technical for me. Some common terms used in my course are mainly - optical node, fibre optic, macro virus, application gateway, VLAN, PSTN, equalisation and the list goes on. 3 years in poly, I still have no idea what the above really are. Fucked up, you'd say, and fucked up I am.

But sometimes, I think I should be positive and be a little proud as an engineering student. I especially detest it when people think people in engineering school in polytechnics are lousy students. Certain business students especially(p/s : I'm not talking about every business student). We are the people who make, they are the people who market. If we don't make, they can forget about selling. If engineering students are lousy, then go manufacture your own mobile phones. If you are unable to manufacture one, then go market your toy phone and make do with small bucks. We will see who are truely the superior ones.

All bad things come to an end. This is liberation. This is rainbow after the rain. I'm a graduate. I'm done with Info-Communications. I no longer have to study out of pressure. I am ready for my next transition and I am going to finally be able to study out of joy again after 3 years. It wasn't easy at all. I don't know how I made it through.

Kang Wei and I always have our own Q&A session whenever we study together. We take turns questioning and answering to have better grasp of what we've studied and we learn from one another.

E : Okay, what is FTP ?

KW : File Transfer Protocol.

E and KW(in unison) : NO ! FUCK TP.
