My last paper is coming soon and my FYP presentation has been set to be on the 6th of May, 3 days after my exam ends!!!! Shouldn't have slacked too much during the breaks between my paper... My exams end the latest amongst my friends but I graduated earlier since my FYP presentation ends earlier!!! Hahaha!

Anyway went to watch movie on 28th of April - xXx 2, which was really disappointing! The movie's special effects was the most fake I have seen and the producers need to go and study some Engineering... Alloy wheels cannot run on train tracks at 225 mph for god's sake! A damn lame show!

Enough about ranting of the movie, I am looking forward to watch the HK movie "Divergence" this weekend. I am definitely sure it will be much better. Oh and I am thinking of changing my camera to the Canon Ixus 50, I kind of like the IXUS since ages ago. But I bought the Sony Camera because it was cheaper at that time...I might also need to get a better long sleeve shirt for my presentation, hmm so many things to buy!

Speaking of buying, I just bought a new TVB Drama serial, which is titled Net Deception. Watched the 1st 2 series and found it to be really good! I bought the series based on the recommendation by TVB Square, a fansite of TVB Dramas. Now if only they will come out with the VCD version of The Academy! Hahaha I just love TVB HK Police-themed drama, no wonder the policemen in HK are so well respected!

First paper down! I think the M487 paper was roughly OK except for this qeustion whereby they asked why the clear portion of the egg turns white when cooked. They gave the egg composition as clues so I guess it should be due to the denaturation and protein unfolding casuing it to change the transparency level of the mixture as unfolded protein becomes no longer soluble.
Now I am studying hard for my M495 and M463 paper. More anxious to get over it with the M463 paper. Since after my Fluids Engineering paper, I will be kind of free!
We had a small celebration for Huifen's birthday at Jurong Point yesterday and it was also Weizhu's last paper so she actually completes her final exam in NTU already....... actually I don't think its just her, some others have completed their exams too! But I just started, haiz!

Clouds over the Pacific Ocean! (Taken from JAL flight from Vancouver to Tokyo) Posted by Hello

Study! Study! Study! That seems to be the consensus in NTU right now! Everyone is busy on their lecture notes and the undone tutorials and of course all the study tables are packed with students discussing what will come out and what topics they need to concentrate etc etc etc..... As usual, students like shortcuts, who doesn't? After all thats the draw of gambling isn't it?

Speaking of Gambling, I think the Singapore government is really going to liberalize this sector by opening the first integrated resort with world-class facilities and attractions - a built-in casino included. Well, which corporate entity in this world will want to invest billions to build a mega resort if there's no casino involved? The Mirage, Treasure Island, Atlantis Resort, Genting Highlands Resort, The Venetian and many more international reknowned mega resorts have an integrated casino. Well seems like the government has no other cards to play but to do this to get a budget surplus. Hey, I would do this too, you know, cos thats what I did in Sim City 3000 and when the city gets a budget shortfall, just build anything and legalize anything that can earn you money. Period!

As for my revision, it has been OK so far, at least I am within schedule. Seems it is the only time in my undergrad life that I really was once in schedule when it comes to revision! Studied Cell and Molecular Biology yesterday (which is my first paper) and Fluids Engineering today (which is the paper I dread to complete). A bit slow in revision today but I hope it will be better over the weekend. Still thinking of whether to stay in hall next Monday and Tuesday cos I really seem to be able to study better at NTU rather than at home.

Sunset in NTU! Posted by Hello

Its the start of the exam week in NTU but my first paper is starting next week so I guess I still got time to slack for a bit, expecially since my first paper is Molecular & Cell Biology. But the rest of NTU seems to be in a studying frenzy Hahaha!!
Well came back to NTU today to complete and print my report! Yeah finally after some tweaking and modification it's done, the whole file is around 20MB and printing the colored pages cost me around S$60 ...... There goes my money ..... and not to mention next month I still gotta print a total full coloured version for the hard cover bound book.
Oh and there was again another earthquake on the west coast of Sumatra at Padang. It was 6.7 on the Richter scale but wonder why earthquakes keep on hitting Sumatra. It is really kinda pitiful for those villagers there man!!!

New Beemer 3 Series !! Posted by Hello

Today is a day of many lasts!! First of all, its the last day of the academic semester and of course my last (official) day as an undergrad having my lessons in NTU! Next I had my last quiz of the year (probably) and completed my last assignment (Hurray!). Yeah so this blog is also a way to commemorate this last day! It's been so fast, to realize that my tenure of 4 years at NTU has ended and now its time to look forward to the future..... Wonder what the future brings for me?

Well actually this blog will have a mirror blog on my Friendster account, I am thinking of keeping both blogs hehehe! Maybe just copy and paste huh? Anyway the movie the Pacifier is out in theatres now and was looking around for people to watch it with me..... But the exams are coming and everyone seems busy, except me, makes me feel bad just to ask them out man! I don't know why but this time round, I just don't feel any sense of urgency to go and study for the exams. Better not be overconfident ......

Late posting again, but this time its all because of a stupid Windows update problem. Last weekend I updated Windows and when I restarted the laptop, all they said was that the laptop can't find the program C:\WINDOWS\System32........ etc etc etc.... Bloody hell with Windows (though I am still using it now!) No choice, hope someone comes up with a better OS and one that is more reliabe and easier to use (I wish!)

Well luckily my hard disk was fine and managed to transfer my files in the hard disk using a hard disk casing/adapter. But damn, it wasted so much of my time!!! Now I am late for all my assignments and reports, since I still need to modify my FYP a bit......

Presently reading this book! Posted by Hello

Oops forgot today is April Fool's Day! Happy April Fool's Day everyone, and damn it I didn't fool anyone today!

Wow, it is already the 12th week of lessons and next week will be my final week of my final year in NTU. Kind of a bit fast, 4 years just passes that way and looking back at the past 4 years, I have to admit I definitely enjoyed my education in NTU.
Anyway went to watch movie and a gaming session yesterday to de-stress before studying for the exams. Watched this movie titled 'House of Fury' and it was directed by Stephen Fung, but the action was choreographed by Yuen Wo-Ping. Turns out to be a good movie overall and the money is definitely not wasted here.
This week I am all alone at home again, the good part is there's more freedom and free time for me but there will be no one to do the laundry for me again. Shucks..... guess I just miss the times when there was a maid to do everything for me, including cooking. Now I just have to be satisfied with going out to eat. I miss home-cooked food man....... esp my mum's soups and having steamboat dinner with the whole family. Now I hope to do the latter when I go to Canada again this coming December.
