As usual, I kinda blog more often during the examination period.

And I gotta remind myself that I'm super super slack this examination period, or rather this semester as a whole. Watching movie clips the day before a morning paper, how cool can that be? I see other people mug like nobody's business, do this do that, stress here stress there. Me? Ok lar, although I always try to convince myself and others that it's not the amount of hard work you put in but rather how you put in your hard work that matters, one still can't help but feel uneasy when others are doing so much and you're doing so little. (Why not just say they procrastinate throughout the semester but I only procrastinate during the exams? lol)

Well, waking up this morning was abit tough, but it got okay after a while. Had a relaxing cuppa hot milo before I made my way to the exam hall. It was CBC212 Inorganic Chemistry (I refuse to enter the supposed full name because the lecturer did not cover that bit of it in the syllabus) and the exam was full of hiccups. 5mins into the paper, we all realised we weren't given the databook, and the lecturer had to go get for us and distribute in the middle of the exams. What's worse, 1hr into the paper, I was already at the last question. Then I was thinking, hey I need to have the O_h point group character table, which wasn't included in the databook. The prof realised it, and off he goes again, to print a copy of the table and give it to us. I was totally sian1/2. But ok lar, at least I din 慌 like many people. lol. Some people just can't take surprises during the exams. And the guy who sat beside me, was the same guy who sat beside me in Exam Hall C for one of the Chemistry papers I had in year1, where he was reading the databook like a novel halfway through the exam (He completed the paper damn early). This time, he left the exam hall early. Imbal...

Now having a slight headache. One last paper, Organic Chemistry, and I'm Free! I can move on to the next set of things to be done. FML

Looks like I've got more fans than I thought. LOL

Oh wells... Anyway, I forgot to mention about my CS803 paper. Ah, it was kinda crappy. The hint dropped by the professor was useful, but I couldn't really care much. 2 essay questions, and I only wrote 1.5 page for each. CS students would probably think 1.5 page would be only enough for slightly more than an introduction, but I seriously have nothing else to write already. Oh, I only spent about 65mins inside the exam hall. I couldn't stand the writing aura exuded by the people around me.

So what's left this week is my two cores, Inorganic Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Like the names suggest, it's kinda the whole of chemistry? Since anything not inorganic is organic and anything not organic is inorganic? Haha, okay... The maths doesn't work this way. But still, there's alot to be covered, and I'm kinda sick and tired of them. And I still think there's alot of time. Ahahaha...

And the thought of post-exams, it isn't all nice and wonderful. Overseas trip? Nah, too expensive and I converted my (spoilt) camera into SGD$20 at cash converters. That's more than 90% depreciation over 3 years. Women don't depreciate that fast right? :p

Outings? No matter how wonderful the program and/or the company is, I always feel something missing. Just can't find the right word for it.

URECA? Ah, that's the most sian thing. Well, I ought to be proud that I'm eligible for this sian thing but, the grass is always greener on the other side? Moreover, the project doesn't seem to be going on very smoothly and my prof isn't really giving me lotsa attention, unlike some of my fellow URECA peers. Oh well, for that title and a nice line or two in my transcript, I just have to bear with it.

船到桥头自然直 I hope...

Was the ramyeon today less spicy, or just because of the company? Haha...

:)

Alright...

Exam status so far: I'm done with Medicinal and Quantum, and left with Media, Inorganic, and organic.

Medicinal Chemistry was okay. Doable. Predictable. And I'm quite confident of my answers. I even left the exam hall 30mins early. But having said that, I think most of the cohort will also be doing well, and since my midterm grades din quite meet the mark, I may have to settle for a less-than-outstanding grade.

Quantum Mechanics was hmm... Somewhat doable. Was rather prepared for the style as the prof did mention about it. Questions were long and gay, and I did not have enough time to finish it. But I was rather happy that I could derive the eigenfunction equations for each spherical polar coordinate (it's just 2 pages of the textbook thou). I already did my best. Serious. Now, my grade will just have to depend on the people who are as stupid as me to have taken this module as an unrestricted elective.

Canteen 2's dessert kiosk having promotion. One-for-one ice cream scoops Christmas promotion. I had a double scoop chocolate ice cream cone on the way back after my physics paper at SRC. Nice conclusion to a sick semester of Quantum Mechanics.

Next up, Media in America. Seriously, I dunno what I can write for my examination. I seriously dunno what to prepare, and wad to expect. I have already S/U-ed this module, but it only gives me extra stress as, like what many other people would think of the module they S/U-ed, what if I can't even secure a C grade? That would be totally epic fail. I'm not sure if my crapping style of writing can be put to good use...

I'm so gonna miss my Quantum Physics textbook...

No more cute tutee.

:(

Anyway, today I decided to go back hall early to mug for my first paper tml. Carried my huge baggage and did some shopping at JP to restock on my food supply. And as I walk towards the 199 busstop, I spotted this lady from afar. I knew she was up to no good, but because of the load that I'm carrying, I couldn't manoeuvre my way pass her with stealth. I also couldn't take out my phone and do my 'fake a call' move as my hands were full. And so, I was stopped by her. Oh, her makeup was so thick, it totally turned me off.

"Hi, are you currently studying or working?"

"studying"

"Oh, do you have any part time job?"

"Er, no"

"Oh, are you Singaporean?"

"ya"

"Ok, thank you very much."

If they are looking for non-singaporeans, for wadeva purpose, why did she approach me? DO I NOT LOOK LIKE A SINGAPOREAN??? First, people think I'm a terrorist. Now they think I'm what? Cham liao lar... I should just go migrate...

On a happier note, my roomie has gone back to his home country, Malaysia, for the rest of the year. Now it's single deluxe for me until 2010.
