Journey towards the completion of Assignment 3 ( Part 1)

This assignment is somehow tougher than Assignment 2.
But, I don't think I have a choice of not doing it.
Today is the first time I started with finding resources for this assignment.
Of course, I did try to explore the software during my break but it didn't give me any impact.
Thanks to Ms. Chin for today's lecture. I finally got some ideas to get the ball start rolling.
I started of with searching materials like animations so that I could paste them in my assignment 3. It took me almost a couple of hours to find the suitable ones because I think not animations could be used as they might affect the idea behind which is to teach!
For instance, I refused to download the numbers (as I am responsible for Maths) with too many colours that may affect the pupils' visual when looking at them.
And I personally think that too many animations in a particluar screen will bring 'negative impact' rather 'positive' ones because I think pupils will feel irratated.
I don't know about others. Do let me know your point of view on this!
>.<
Materials - I have got what I want basically.
Therefore, I am going to start with the activities!
Just hope to finsih this semester as soon as possible.
I really need a rest!

Back to schedule!

After a one week break, things are messed up again!
I was sitting alone in my room, thinking back what had been happening to my life for the past few weeks. I sat for hours yet I could not find the answer!
The only thing I knew and felt was 'pain'. The pain was and is so unbearable as if thousands of daggers were stabbing into my heart! Unexplainable situation!
I know I have to go through with this! I know I need to get rid of this! But, why I just could not? I am not controlling my mind but my mind is controlling me. I wish I could turn back the time. I just wish to go back to olden days... I wish to start all over again!

Assignment 3 has come!

There is only one thing currently carries me forward - my thought of 'come as fast as possible and finish as fast as possible'. At the same time, the pressure on my shoulder makes me couldnt breathe! Thanks to the snake 39 for the troubles caused!

I just hope that I could get this assignment done as quickly as possible. Of course, the quality of my assignment has to be there. If not, what's the point of doing it?

I NEED MORE STRENGTH AND ENERGY!
