Strolling Rara

Went to work at Starhub roadshow outside Raffles City Shopping Centre over the weekend with Rong Hua, Jastinian and Wei Ming. Our job was "Strolling Rara", which was to distribute flyers and walk around city hall mrt area carrying the sandwich boards, together with some other performers. I felt that the job was okay but the others felt otherwise. They said that it is embarrassing and not worth the money, because we have to stroll around in the hot sun. Maybe it's because I've no pride or Im cheapskate, willing to do these things for $7/hour. But I think it's a reasonable pay.

The supervisor was also quite demanding and he wrongly accused Rong Hua, making him very pissed off and everyone was quite unhappy. In the end, we just got on with it and I don't think there will be a next time for them. But I can't say the same for myself. Maybe I'll go alone, we shall see.

Last paper......

Finally, it's over..... for now.
4 years, 33 exams, 1 FYP, 1 degree.
No more examinations as an undergraduate.
What's the feeling of finally finishing my last paper?
Actually I don't have much feelings, it's just like finishing any other paper.

And for this last paper, Me and Thong Loon spotted the questions right! Haha.
PEB, What makes a good code of ethics? , What is Singapore doing as chair of Asean? , Approach to counter inflation.
All came out. Yeah.
Maybe the questions didn't come out exactly the way we have prepared for them but it's more or less there.
At least we don't think we will fail.

Maybe I'll have to start sourcing for a part time job before I commence my post-grad studies in August. For now, I shall take a short break first.
As they say, every ending is a new beginning.

One more to go.

Finally, Im left with one last paper, Engineers and Society. But it sucks. There are so many things to read and the content is so disorganised. Those who took it last sem said the lecturer will give tips on the last lecture and we just have to study that. But this time she DIDN'T. What's wrong with her? Making life difficult for poor students like us. The lecture notes are in a mess and I don't know how Im going to recall the points reading all those shit. The last 2 papers were okay, so I really hope I don't fall at the last hurdle. (Or second last since there's still the FYP presentation.)

Anyway, 3 more days and it'll be over. Actually I thought it was more or less over last thursday but I didn't realise E & S is so......
Some things I have to do after my exams: (Better make a checklist before I forget)

• Collect passport
• Fix my bicycle (if I can)
• Read "The five people you meet in heaven"
• Watch CJ7 DVD
• Watch the episodes of Narutos that I've missed
• Borrow 三国群英传 from Junqin and play
• Go on a trip?
• Visit my grandparents
• Bring Chippy out
• Do FYP presentation (sian)

Exams are coming.

5 more days to exam. Advanced data management is not easy. I don't know how to do the past year papers. Can anybody help me? Simulation and modeling is relatively easier, but is that a good or bad thing? Im staying at home everyday, reading my lecture notes, doing my tutorials and past year papers. But then, I still think it's better than doing FYP.

Watched Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon on tuesday with Minghui, Cal, Zanlun, Steven and gang. 10 persons watching movie together. Haha. They really know how to jio. Filled up the whole K centre row. It's like a class outing. The show is not bad, just that it's a bit too short. And Vaness and Maggie Q don't have the face for those kind of shows. They looked so out of place. Zhao yun is cool but some of the scenarios are a bit exagerrated and the story isn't really the real story of Zhao yun, especially the ending. But maybe they changed it to make the audience touched.

Talking about touched, what are the things you can do to make a person feel touched? I have come to the conclusion that if the other person likes you, whatever small things you do can make him or her touched. If not, you can do anything and everything but it will still have no effect on the person.

Soccer at chinese high

Played soccer at chinese high field on sunday. It was fun. We won 6-2 (or somewhere there). I felt I played okay since it has been some time since I last played field soccer. On the whole, our team of chinese high boys played well though. The bad thing was I got a cramp on my right calf midway through the second half. It was painful and it's still sore now. Wonder if I shall go for a run later.

......

Last lecture of my undergraduate studies

I just finished the last lecture of my 4 year under-graduate course (unless I fail any modules this semester). It was a 2 hour review lecture on the 2nd part of Advanced Data Management. 4 years have passed just like that. It feels like only a while ago that I have ORD-ed and stepped into university. That two years of army life certainly felt much longer than these 4 years of University life. Though this is the last lecture for me as an undergraduate, it most probably won't be the last lecture for me in NTU because if my application for post-graduate studies is accepted, I'll be spending another potential 4 years in NTU and the cycle will repeat itself. Maybe that is why I don't really have much feelings about this being the last lecture. Maybe it is also because there are still the exams and FYP presentation coming up and we can't say that it's over until it's really over.

Caught the stomach virus from my mother 2 days ago and Im still not feeling very well. My whole body was aching on tuesday and I felt as if Im going to get a fever. In the end I didn't but I had diarrhoea which only stopped today. Thought I was okay when I woke up in the morning but as the day went on, I felt unwell at some moments. Why do I keep getting sick these few months? Shit! I just want to recover and go running tomorrow morning, and play soccer again on sunday.
