Last week was sickening. The week of examination is a torture but what I'm looking forward to is the summer break after the exams. So near yet so far, 1 more paper to go, but the paper is on friday. Good for me though, since I haven't done much for this module, the extra time hopefully provide me with ample time to revise.
Even though, the exams is not over for me, I seemed to be already in holiday mood, playing pool with Ah Bee yesterday and the plan to go Chill and Chat tomorrow. This means that I will have 4 days(an over estimate) for the final revision.
No matter what, 4 out of 5 of the papers are over with, and I do not wish to talk about them, especially the physics paper. It's a disaster. Just cross my finger and wait for the result which will be released on the 26th next month. Following closely will be ICT!! Everything to be sad about, but whatever have to come will have to come, just bring it!

Lifts
Lifts are a part of everyday life to many people nowadays, therefore I really hate people who hog on to the lifts, causing me to waste my precious time.
I remembered once when I wanted to go downstairs, i pressed the button to summon the lift for going down, but none of the two lifts responded. One of it was at ground level, and the other one was at the 12th. At that time, I can hear alot of chatting coming from above me, and it really annoyed me. They were busy chatting and holding on to the lift. I shouted up to them "Oi!". After a while, the lift came down, but i waited for the next one. Wouldn't share a lift with people like these.. Argh, i should have gone down to every floor below me and press down instead, so i can waste their time. Count themselves lucky.
Today, feeling rather edgy after the first exam paper for physics. Didn't do well as usual, cause my physics is really bad, hope I wouldn't need to take anymore physics in future. Anyway, I was at the second floor of my block. When i reached, I saw the lift that always stop at the ground floor going up, and the same time, the one that usually stop at the eleventh floor coming down.
Nothing unusual since this always happen when someone goes up on the ground floor, the one at eleventh floor will come down. The unusual thing is, both lifts stopped at the fifth floor, one says it will be going up, and the other going down. But when they moved again, both of the lifts came down. The jerk must have pressed both buttons for going up and going down. Are they so illiterate that they cannot differentiate between arrow point up and down? Whatever.. I pressed the button on the second floor that says going down, and took the stairs. Both lifts as I expected stopped on the second floor. Just hope that the person on the fifth floor was intending to go to the ground floor, so I succeeded in wasting a bit of his time.
Motto in life: Be more inconsiderate to inconsiderate people! Be ruder to rude people!

Grades
From the past 13weeks of instruction weeks, these are the grades that I think I have currently
- B+ for CS1102
- B- for CS1104
- C+ for PC1144
- B- for MA1505
Average of CAP: (4*5 + 3*4 + 3*4 + 2.5*4) / 17 = 3.18
Less than last sem.. Sad.. What to do?! Just too noob to compete with the others and my battery is dying. Really looking forward to the long break to recharge.
Anyway, I fianlly got to do some real revision today, meeting chubbs for mcdonald breakfast in school so might as well stay behind and do some revision. This few weeks have really been disastrous, so many things that i don't understand. As usual, hope others are as clueless as me or more clueless than me. LoL!

Going to be a dota noob for the next few weeks
This sounds funny, but for some reasons, I've become a dota noob in the next few weeks. Don't blame me for feeding or not attacking the correct target, but will try my best to hit the target.
This is not by choice and it's got absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming exam that I've become a dota noob for the next few weeks. I'll not disclose the reason so no need to ask.
It's the last day of school today, reading week follows, and the next will be the most dreaded exams. Wish you all do well for your exams, really, since most of you not in the same module as me, so it doesn't matter if you top the bell curve. I'll try to stay off the bottom. Wish my cousin who was excused from thinking for 22months starting yesterday well too.

Last test of AY2006 / 2007
The last mid term test is over!! But the road to this test is not a smooth one. 1 hr is usually enough for me to reach school with a bit of time to slack before the lesson will start, but today was really unlucky. The waiting time for all transportations were really long, and by the time i reach the bus-stop outside my school, it was already 12pm, and the test was due to start. Luckily, the LT was just a short 0.5km away, the most tiring part was to the bridge and a few flights of stairs. Was relieved when i see people still entering the LT when i reached.. Phew, not late.
The test was short. And when people says this, it usually means one of two things. The test was easy and he breeze through, or the test was difficult and it ended prematurely. I belonged to the latter.
After lunching alone at Lot 1, i went for a haircut, remembering what one of my primary school chinese teacher, Mr Tan had said. "Having short hair makes you study better." Donno whether it's scientifically proven, but it certainly is cooler. Oh, please dont cut "botak" head or you will not be able to study cause you will be excused from thinking.

My bedroom, the junkyard
While watching webcast today, i suddenly realised the thick layer of dust behind my monitor. Hm, never saw it there before. How did it suddenly appear? So, I decided to take a break from webcast and go dust the area behind my monitor.
As the area was full of cables, i just took a few pieces of tissue paper and try to clear up the dust. Ok, spick and span (in my frame of reference), then i look around, hm, maybe the room needs some dusting too. Dust dust here, sweep sweep there, the result was a dustpan full of dust.. How long since I last clean up? With the garbage from secondary school, junior college and NS still in my room, and new garbage coming from uni, any visitor who come may mistake my room for a storeroom or worse a junkyard.
Well, even though the room is really in a mess now, I guess I just have to prioritize my to-do list. Exam preparataion is of course first, and I have a test coming up this wednesday. Maybe I'll clean up the room in the summer vacation, maybe..
Think:
How many people must be in a room before the probability that some share a birthdate, ignoring the year and leap days, becomes at least 50 percent?
I wont be posting any answer for questions i posted here.

Last Long Weekend
During army days, long weekends are much celebrated and anticipated. Even during early release, I'll be very happy. However, since school restarted after the "winter" break, I had really alot of long weekends and I'm sick of it. The reason is because long weekend have mutated into a different thing altogether. Alternate fridays with lessons ending at 6pm, and other times at 4pm, with tonnes of tutorials and programs do work on. In fact, it's a short weekend of long hours of work. Though most of the time, I don't do them till the very last minutes.
This type of long weekend has finally ended after completing the last ever physics lab report(i forgot to hand in the raw data.. minus marks), and JAVA programming labs will also end tomorrow. This means that this weekend will only be left with 1 assembly language program to do. Heard it's easy and I'll have an extra long weekend to do it, since I've no lesson on thursday and friday is good. The only drawback is the stupid test at 6pm on wednesday.
Heavy workload or not, I won't fail to find time to get away from them. Either by playing games or going out. Last saturday went to Marina Bay with 10 others for steamboat to celebrate miz's and batman's birthdays. The same place where we celebrated the promotion of someone who really made an impact in our lives.
On Sunday morning, the family went out to sweep grave. Meet up with other relatives at Grandma's ex-house, before going to Bt Timah to sweep my grandfather's grave. Been there since 40 years ago.. The light drizzle signalled for us to leave the place at around 10+, and we go on to a temple in Aljunied to where Grandma's new house is located. The temple was quite crowded, so everything was done chop chop and went back to Grandma's ex-house for lunch.
