31102002

March 14th 2003. The post on march 14th 2003. That post holds a date. An important date: 31102002. Not the day I bought PS2, but the day I met her again at Marsiling MRT. The heart stops a beat. If you are reading this (which as chances goes by, chances are none), I really like you then, and shall we spare a moment just to ponder and wonder, how you and I would be today, if I grab the chances of those yesteryears. But time flies and days were gone -- too quick I'll say.
Then tonight, many days after the yesteryears, I chanced upon this one desolate post, the post that was created by its creator to serve him a reminder (and indeed it served well!), a reminder to an important date.
Met you only once in school (at McDonald remember?) after that fortuitous meeting at Marsiling MRT. You seemed lonely and unhappy. Thereafter I buried myself with work, and never again we did meet. Stopping to wonder and ponder. Rising my head above the mountains of work. If I grab the chances of yesterdays, where would you be? Where would I be?

ORD LOH

On May 6th 2008, 11 am, Singapore time, I'd completed possibly the last examination paper of my life. Just for memorial sake -- and for the sake that a part of my legacy will be stored in bits and bytes forever and ever in cyberspace -- that paper is EC1301 Principles of Economics. Coincidentally, I'd dropped this module in favor of Evolution of a global city state when I was freshman in year 1. So in effect, I had made one big round trip.

Realized I haven't posted.. since I'm in year 2???

That's pretty frickin long.

Modules taken this semester:
EC1301 (Principle of Economics) : Easiest module this sem, but spoiled by the fact that a lot of the contenders are A-levels grad with S-papers in Econs

CS2106 (Operating System) : The only computing module that I haven't enjoyed in NUS is this one. Partly because of tremendous workload (Labs + Tut + Lecture + project + mid term -- how do they add up to 4MCs you go figure out). but nonetheless got one super dedicated and cute lecturer -- Dr Roland Yap

EE4218 (Embedded Hardware Design) : most worthless level 4 module I's ever took. I don't understand why Dr Le had to digress and talk about video codecs all of a sudden. The project was, albeit, interesting, but the subject matter of the module (its a level 4 mod for god sake!) was rather shallow and yawn-inducing.
