Saturday 27th Jan 2007

It was a great day which reminds us why we take up the hobby in the first place. We had a 2 v 2 game. Me(Druchii) and Kenf(Beasts) vs Victor(Asrai) and AHX(Ogres). It was a fierce battle ending with a draw.

I had a bad start with AHX using my own forest locking hill trick against me during deployment phase. This will teach me to be careful! Fortunately, I am used with improvision and therefore could still set up the rbts such that the trick was just a small ignorance. Its hard to really comment about the game as the flow of the game was more due to the circumstances present rather than any tactical ingenuity. However I muz mention that kenf's troops soak up most of the pressure allowing my druchii to exploit it. 2 failed stupidity test kinda led my foes underestimate the Coks. Fortunately a lucky turn allow the unit to crush a big chunk of the enemy's right. MY druchii had many lucky breaks, such as the witch elves doing an insane courage vs AHX's tyrant retinue and my spears getting rid of a butcher(w his bodyguards) and Vic's wardancer noble despite getting charged! Kenf was unlucky in the game but he manged to skillfully pull off a flank charge against Vic's treekin allowing us to regain our lead in points during the last turn(but result still draw la). AHX and vic shooting are outrageus especially victor. i lost count of how many wounds he cause. out of 10 arrows, he hit w 7 or 8 and have 5 wounds at long range...and it happen many times!!!

other warhammer stuff. I have finally sent my tombguard home. now all that is left at kevins are my Witchhunters army and some spare models. haiZ i m still getting another box of eldar. I woud need a place to store these models

A Week of Extreme Disequilibrium

Today is only Wednesday but the week thus far has been disastrous. First and foremost, I do not have a single proper module. together with technical problem with CORS, it took a total of 6 bidding rounds for me to finally get my 5 modules. DErfel is right, the administration has been bz speeding up the timetable(dunno for wad) resulting in a series of screwed ups. A average bidding round last for a day, compared to a day and a half as it was in the past. till now, i have not gotten my timetable up nor have i bought my txtbooks. I am still trying to get modules that have a lower workload so that I can spend my time on non-academic matters such as job hunting.

The most serious problem was Dr Cremers who played me out and insist on me dropping the thesis. There is nothing much I can do since she simply refuse to sign the pink form. It was so unfair but there are simply no alternatives, the 2nd best option of coz would be to do ISM since i will still be doing a research of some sort. Now I am trying to psy myself out of this trauma. It is a really sad thing consider the number of books and journals i have already read, hours spent making the pre-regressions. I believe i had spent more that a week over the hols just on thesis alone...well wat's left of it. it is no encouragement in that now Dr Cremers was swarmed by many other ism proposals. She is damn stress now and I forsee that she has a lot less time for both me and Chris. I rarely dun wanna do this on a blog but i juz gotta do it. F*** Clement. YEs Lim Hanyang. I dunno wat's wrong with his EQ. He is giving our prof unneccessary stress and thus negative externalities to the rest of us. When I look at his "overlapping generations model", I could tell that its clumsy and flawed straight away. He just refuse to believe so...and insist that he is correct. the worst thing is that he insist on using the screwed up model for ism...his choice you say but it means that Dr Cremers has less time for us...forcing us to be even more indpt. and we all know that Clement is a "attention" guy, he will definite plague prof with qns...something that will definitely happen given his model.

Final problem, money. As my academic career draws to a close, my allowance began to trickle to almost nothing. Expenses are going to come to a halt. I have many minor problems such as the need to get/rent new storage space since kevin's is closing, the need to finish my exorcist...not to mention $ to go out. to have just enough $ to cover my basic expenses is giving me lots and lots of inconvenience. I just hope when new yr and my pay comes...it will tide me over somehow.
