Results are out!

I asked my boss to help me check my results today! I told her to start with the lousiest grade up but she ignored me and started with the best grade. For suspense she says. Anyway, I would say the results came as a surprise, but that too would be an understatement.

Stay Get Healthy Campaign!

I wanted to write stay, but it’s kinda hard to stay healthy when you’re not healthy in the first place!

So I started jogging, 3 times in 5 days so far, but I wonder how long it will last. I will jog/walk to Bishan park, then jog/walk there, and then most of the time I will roll back home. The trip there is uphill, so normally by the time I jog there, I will only end up walking one round at Bishan park and then roll back home, since it’s downhill on the way back. I jogged at 6am the past 2 times, but only started at 7am this morning! Maybe the sun made me feel more dehydrated. Or maybe I need to drink more water the night before. It felt like I was jogging through the Sahara Desert! Ok that’s an overstatement, but you get my drift. So, please remind me to hydrate myself before jogging!

Anyways, had potluck + gift exchange on Saturday at Jennifer’s house! It was to celebrate, and I quote the e-mail, “xmas,mel’s homecoming
(and bringing her ‘rubbish’ back..hee..her charles..=P) , shan’s and kenny’s bday..” So there we have it. We had so much food! Sushi/Sashimi Platter from Sakae, Canadian Pizza, Salads, Ebi Tempura, Cheese Sausage, Braised Duck, Vegetable Curry, Chicken Wings etc, and Log Cake & Red Ruby for dessert! Then we had gift exchange, where we had to be someone’s Secret Santa and be someone elses’ Secret Santee (I made this word). I was Mel’s Secret Santa and Jennifer’s Secret Santee! My job of finding a present was easy, since Mel had a wishlist and it said Ikea Voucher! So a trip to Ikea and that was settled, and Jennifer got me a Deuter waist pouch! It was a fun evening, and we would have to thank Jennifer for organizing this and having us at her place!

[I will add pictures later, once I get them from the various Camera bringers!]

[1 Photo added, will be getting more soon... hopefully!]

Our log cake!

On a not so brighter note, exam results are out on Boxing Day, and to be honest, I’m kinda scared!

Some random visuals

Well, nothing much to blog about. Exams ended, work started, games most of the time. Story of my life. However, I can’t possibly pay $72 per year for webhosting and not blog about anything right? I mean, I know that no one ever reads my blog but I can still be hopeful and blog! Besides, I didn’t start this blog to link about 389024 other blogs and make everyone read it :)

So, since I have nothing to blog about, I’ll just post some random pictures I took.

The first is of the skyscrapers in Raffle Place. I was walking to work @ Singapore Academy of Law and saw this scene. It reminded me of Genting Highlands, so I took out my handphone to snap it.

The second is of a Mini Moo candy that my boss bought for me. She said she saw it at 7-11 and it reminded her of me. Hmm, I wonder why…

Anyway, anyone wants to buy me a digital camera for Christmas? :)

100% Done!

Yay! My exams are finally over. Just finished my last paper. It was supposed to be from 9am to 11am, but I finished it within 15 mins. Not that I was confident or anything, but it was a 40MCQ paper, and it was only 30% of the module’s marks. The MCQ choices were like “a) The statement is right. b) The statement is wrong. c) The statement is more right than wrong. d) The statement is more wrong than right”. There were other kinds of questions, but most of them had this kind of answers so I guess I didn’t really care whether I took 15 mins or 1 hour to complete it. Anyway, there is a stupid rule in NUS that you cannot leave within the first hour, so there I was sitting around waiting till 10am before I could leave. Besides, I was not the only one to leave at 10am, so it should mean that either everyone was smart, or just as lost as me. Anyway, I don’t care that much since it’s the end of my exams and I’m free!

I have so much things to do, like play games, watch my tv show episodes which have piled up over the semester. Also, I’m attending Jimmy’s birthday bbq party this evening, and work starts on Monday! Time is precious, gotta catch up with my games now :)

66% Done!

1 more paper down, 1 left to go! Today’s paper was a nightmare. Ok, it was not that bad, but not as good as the previous one, if that makes any sense. I’m rather happy though, since I have only 1 paper left on Saturday, though I still have that last project presentation on Thursday. Speaking of the project presentation, it turned out my worry for it was undue. I was quite worried last week since I could not program the board provided for the project, so I decided to make a trip to school to consult the Lab TA. The Lab TA told me that maybe others had the problem, but he could not give me a solution. Since I thought that we were supposed to program the board for the project presentation/demonstration, I didn’t think that I could do nothing about the problem. Therefore, I went to look for the lecturer, and he told me I didn’t have to program the board!! I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry upon hearing the news, laugh because I don’t have to program the board, or cry because I tried so hard to program the board and find what’s wrong with it. Oh well, I guess we have to look on the bright side of stuff. 1 paper left, and then I’m free!
