Anyway, got back my Stats exam today!!! It's damn damn DAMN gan cheong lahz... I was late somemore, and when I got to class, the prof alr given out the exams and was already going through the solutions on the board. And there I was, sitting there, panicking, and looking at the numbers on the board which says : Ave 78, Max 100, Min 43. Yes, and I was expecting a 68 on the exam!!! Which means I'll be far far far below average, and beyond redemption. Was even contemplating about approaching the prof and asking him how I could redeem myself from this lousy expected grade.

But it turned out that the prof was really generous with partial credits and I had an 87 for it!!! 20 points higher than expected!!! Wooohooo!!! That moment, I really heaved a sigh of relief and silently thanked him and Him for giving me a second chance. I will definitely put more effort in this course in future and make sure this doesn't happen again!

Anyway, about the exam, the first question was a really really easy one, which I messed up big time cos I just missed it totally. I mean I know it's a conditional probability problem, but I didn't see the probabilities given as conditonal. Hence I wrote some crap on it, and put down Baye's Rule for Conditional Probability. And there, I was stuck. I have absolutely no knowledge of how to go about solving it. And I had 15 pts for that question out of a total of 25.

The second one was better... I knew how to do it. It was really easy. But I got my Variance wrong, cos I missed out the square on the expectation, a typical mistake I had, and my friend warned me again and again about it. haha~ well... I expected 5 pts off that, but in the end, he only took 2.

The third was ultimate. I was totally clueless in what I was doing. I just realized that new application an hr before I went for the exam from the TA's notes. I studied it and thought it was a really powerful tool. And there I was, applying that for the very first time ever. And the result I got was totally weird. And yes, I expected to get like 10 pts off... But the prof only took 1, cos I was only 1 step away from the answer, which I was totally blinded to. So yes, prob 1, 2 and 3 were really risky. I mean I screwed up those 3 prob, out of a total of 4, and that means I'm totally fried. Luckily it turned out well. And I could do problem 4.

Ah well...

Gonna sleep... later still have to wake up early for some girls' scout thingy... hehe~ gonna go teach them how to play chatek!!! hahaha~

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
