2 down, 3 more to go~

2 papers down, and 3 more to go!!! Finally I've tackled down CPE207 and GD02 within 2 consecutive days, hohoho... My exams schedule's rather crazy this semester: 2 papers this week back-to-back, 3 papers next week also back-to-back! Good thing my first paper started in the second week of exams period, so I have more time to study, hehe... but I still haven't touched 2 core subjects...gonna touch 1 shortly, hopefully can finish studying all before next wednesday >_<
So far so good - should be able to pass CPE207, but not sure about scoring high overall, lol... and today's GD02 paper's not so difficult, the first time I'm having an evening paper, haha.. However, my mind actually went blank for the first 10-15 minutes when I was goin to attempt the first question, which is design analysis.

It was a National Geographic print catalog, and what baffled me was the huge headline that said, "Indelible." I was like, what the hell does indelible mean?!?!?! I've never seen such a word before!!! (my english vocab's not so powerful, mind you) So that single alienic word shocked me to the core, and as a result I suddenly didn't know what to write AT ALL! I stared and stared and stared, finally I decided to call the prof and asked her (wasn't sure whether we're allowed to do that, but it was worth a try). Thankfully she whispered to me, "cannot be erased". Then I look at the design again, which is mainly a picture of a fully tattooed body, and I saw the light!!! At that very instant I knew exactly what to write and my answer booklet started to fill up, lol...

I actually spent slightly more than 1 hour to complete that 40 marks question (I wrote 4 pages, hehe), and I only had 1 more hour left to answer 2 questions weighting 30 marks each!!! So I speed-write whatever I could come up with within that last 1 hour, and times up! Not sure how many marks my answers could gain me, but I wrote as much as I could. Overall it's an 'ok' paper, it's just that I wasted too much time on the first question alone... Hopefully it's enough to get me a good overall marks, including my project grade.

The paper ended at 7 pm, and now my fingers are stiff and a bit painfull, thanks to the speed-writing that I did earlier. I won't write anymore for the rest of the night! Muahahahaha... Even typing this entry is causing some slight discomfort in my fingers, it's never been this bad #___#

So yupz, 3 more papers to go, all of them are core subjects (ie. killers). Shall read a textbook now before I head home (yeah I'm still at school)... and I won't write any notes! Kekeke... Wish me luck & cheerio~

The Exams are Here Again

Exams in NTU started this week, and many muggers have conquered the study areas and tutorial rooms around the school. I was lucky bcoz Atie & Imran reached school earlier & got a tutorial room to study in, so I joined them for the day, kekeke... Have lots to catch up on..but will try my best to revise everything on time =P

Yesterday at the carpark, after Atie & I went to buy 'supplies' from 7eleven (hehe..), I saw this car with what seemed like a red and yellow doll inside (saw it from the back at first). I thought, "hmm..maybe it's a chicken doll..". As i walked towards the front of the car, found out that it was a yellow duck. "So what's the red thing on top of it?". I looked above it, & there was an Elmo doll. After that, I looked at the bigger picture, & behold~

CHILDREN'S ICON WENT WRONG!!!! Wahahahaha.....almost fainted when I saw this. Naughty naughty Elmo, tsk tsk tsk XD

There are lots of other funny things that one could encounter around the school.. Like the time when I saw a YELLOW motorcycle, opposite a YELLOW car, on top of a double YELLOW line, hahahaha... Too bad I didn't have my camera with me that particular day. Oh, and check out what I found at NIE when after I had lunch there last week.

If you can't see it clearly, it's actually a big blue garbage bin below the CashCard Top Up Station sign, hehe... There are many other things that I saw not only in school, but everywhere else! So keep your eyes peeled wherever you go, you'll never know when you'd encounter unusual things. These kind of stuff could make your life & whatever's around you more interesting, ya? ^_^

Oh geez, I better pack up my stuff & make my way to library@orchard now to get a table, or else I'll have to try study at home & most probably will end up sleeping the whole day, lolz... Good luck to all who're having exams!!! =D

Until next time then (^0^)V

My VisualDNA

tried this out for fun =P

Almost the end of the Semester

So sorry for the slow update! The last few weeks had been filled with lab demos preparations, reports, presentation, deadlines, deadlines & deadlines.. This semester is the WORST one I've had so far, due to all of the assignments and deadlines that are squeezed in 2 consecutive weeks (total of 3 lab demos, 1 project + presentation, & 1 report, phew..). It also causes the worst stress that I've ever experienced! A mad rush running from one lab to another, trying to complete all assignments on time, lack of sleep (even when I sleep it's mostly on the sofa) & forgot to eat at times because I was way too busy (but hey! I lost 1 kg, lolz XD ). I thought that I'd never complete everything on time & made a job well done... Fortunately all turned out well in the end - completed the preparation for all lab demos & didn't do badly, completed the designs for my art elective & the presentation ended on a good note, and also did whatever I could for the lab report (although I submitted it 1 day late, but don't care la =P ).

Another highlight of this semester is that I've made many new friends in my faculty, since a few of the labs are group work & I belong to 3 different tutorial groups! Previously I only know a few people in SCE, and I kept on wondering how come I know many more people from other faculties compared with my own.. That's why it's still a good semester for me in terms of getting to know more people & making new friends, hehehe... =)

Here are some group pics that I took with the different labs and elective groups that I'm involved in. There's still another one which I've yet taken picture of because the project ends only after 1 week following the exams period, but will definitely take a group picture then ^_^


GD02 Project Group


Uh... CPE206 Lab Group


and last but not least, CPE207 Lab Group (Cyberdyne Inc's Tracker team)


And so, all of the projects (except 1), lectures and tutorials for this semester have ended, and I finally can start to prepare for the coming exams. Will be having my first paper in 11 days, so I better buck up fast! Gyaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! <(0[]0)>

Alright! Gotta sleep now, going to school early morning to continue with my DDP & watch lecture videos in the afternoon, hahaha......... So....... that's all, folks! XD
