i am now in the library...about to start a crazy night of data entry + figuring out nonlinear-regression. i hate this (because this is my 3rd data file!! and its no joke keying in all those crap man.....advance warning to all who may talk to me in the near future. if you think im not looking at you when im talking...i actually am. its just my eyes gone abit kuku. blame it on the amt of data entry i hafta do). like 1000 plus rows of data...and i have to do it twice over for this 3rd data file....this is crazy. not that i did up the previous files wrongly...its just that there are different uses for each. crazy crazy crazy...why me!?

i got stucked trying to understand the nonlinear regression thing, then i emailed my ex-tutor last night who taught me Methods 3...and he met me this afternoon, then he couldnt figure it out either, so then he called another tutor (this guy tutored me for Methods 2...and he couldnt figure it out either!).... like sighs...but then i've gotta say i've got excellent tutors/support here at Murdoch. haha...it was totally not his business at all...but he so willingly sat down with me for no less than 1hr 30min...trying to figure out how to analyse my data...and talking through some concepts with me. though he couldnt help much in the end, but still awesome. appreciate it alot. oh and he said he'll get back to me after he got some stuffs figured out. like how cool is that?

so anyway, guess who was the first to greet me while i was walking to the library. it was my hons classmate..haha..and the moment she saw me....she just couldnt stop laughing. i dunno why. haha i guess its just that common understanding that....stats is abt to drive us mental. then she had to ask me a zillion questions (okay not that much...just one is enough to kill me actually) abt her stats stuff for her study....i was really trying hard to digest what she say, and i tried my best, but still could only offer her some not-very smart suggestions and advices...haa...i promised i'll get back to her. haa..zzz. so i better. oh, and i finally got to know her name when i asked for her number. haha...like i've been talking to her for so long, but i just can't recall her name...and too embarrassed to ask after so long. loL....zzz

anyway for now.....back to spss.

li-chan~! that couple who so shamelessly+rudely invaded our comfy table+seats in the library when we were still there........is sitting right opposite me now! hahah. okay..v random. but anyways...cos it took me abt 1min to realise who they were....look familar mah.

but okay..enough crap.

edit:

oOo...okay..not bad. finally at 1.05am. im done with my data entry (i suspect theres more to come actually. once i get another email from my supervisor.......)..... 2 1/2hrs...not as bad as i thought it would be. but thats becos i've aready spent yesterday and this afternoon doing it.

oh and yes.. although this is very unorganised..ima blogging in a very non-chronological order..anyway who cares.. went for prayer meeting before coming to the library. i believe very much in the power of prayers, and how there is synergy when more ppl gather together to pray...but today was waaaaaay out of my comfort zone. somehow i've been shoved to the front to be prayed for in proxy for my mum...it was abit too much fuss for me...and im probaly the kind of person who really dislike fuss and attention, and dislike bothering ppl with my stuffs.....then i just feel weird. but then again...i guess its not abt any of that...but believing that God is hearing all those prayers, and that we in turn hear what He has to say. more imptly, Ps Benny mentioned tt prayer is abt submission..... so i guess, comfort aside... but also.. thank u all who have been keeping me and mum in prayers. although i dislike the fuss..i still appreciate your prayers!
