Leaked Results

It must be something of a custom for NUS to leave some way for us students to happen upon our grades early, before we can get ourselves in the right frame of mind; This time, it was at https://integral.nus.edu.sg/ui/exam2000a.Homepage (now taken down), and judging from the personal messages all over MSN messenger, it can hardly be considered a secret.

I was minding my own business when wm interjected:

<wm> hey, do u noe the results are out?

And I was all, wtf?

Well, few are the students who can pass up on this particular temptation, and after keying in my matriculation number and PIN I got the equivalent of a mental slap in the face - not a bad one, mind you. Or the equivalent of having your angpow or Christmas pressies opened for you. That feeling of, so, that's it?

Sorta disappointed with two of my modules, especially since I had high hopes for an A for Psych given the high midterm scores. Sadly I was given a kick in the teeth by the written assignment, accounting for 30% of the total, which proved too much to overcome. Never knew what was wrong with it either. The less said of Macroeconomics I the better.

On the flip side, those two modules were never going to count towards my Honours degree in Computing, and I guess I can take slightly lower scores on the non-Honours B.A. (Econs). Can't complain about the four modules which do count, though - only a single A- away from maximum CAP for the semester.

Then again, it would be ironic if these grades are unmoderated, as some of my friends suppose, and the eventual ones are totally different. Wonder if this qualifies for a class action lawsuit for emotional distress, haa.

Made a comeback with a $176.10 week ($1368.85/$1400 total), thanks to Arsenal and Chelski taking each other down. Skipped this week's Saturday fixtures, which was lucky since I would have called an Arsenal win over Pompey and a small Pool victory over Charlton, neither of which turned out very rewarding. Moreover, Super Sunday sees United take on a club with a dire record so far. It's Hammer Time!

$60 on Man U (-1.5) vs West Ham (at 2.15) - they're not that bad at home, but United are fab away
$20 on D-A in the above game (4.00) - in case they have to wait
$20 on Everton (+1.5) vs Chelski (1.50) - a man can hope...
