Well, it's the first week of school.... And I'm already looking forward to the last week of school...
Right, it's the last semester, and in juz a few more months, I've completed another phase (maybe the last?) of education years.

Anyway, timetable seems decent, no night classes, except for the super early classes at 8am and long days..... Maybe the only comforting thing is that there's only 6 modules this time, unlike the usual 7 modules for the past semesters. But on top of it, there's the national education module, no idea what it is for anyway...

Okie, so how the first few days of school? Hmmm... Sianz..... Agree? Yeah. But it'll be worse next week as everything falls in place and the busy school life starts again... Juz got a call from a teacher... sianzzz...need to go to school early tml to meet up with the year 2 students to crap with them about OPP. Alright, it's sharing. There goes my morning...

Anyway, before chinese new year next year, I've finished my semestral exams and considered graduated. Hmm... what would it be like then? And after that, what's gonna happen? I would know the answer in juz a few months time... So juz wait and see den...

Btw, was reading the morning papers juz now.. saw an article saying about "ugly singaporean". One of which that I totally agree with both hands up is the culture in the MRT. I can totally understand the viewpoint of those complaints, as I saw and experienced the same things too, and I'm sure many of u all also had this kind of experience. Seriously, i dun understand what these people are thinking? Juz wat kind of excuses or reasons they come up with themselves to justify those inconsiderate acts of theirs. Totally uncool. Or maybe they din even notice the disgusted stares from other communters.

Firstly, those that i dislike most are those "pole-dancers" (that's what they are named in the article). It actually mean those people that lean their whole body on the poles, which are meant for people to hold on to for safely. Even on a packed cabin. Sad to say, but i agree that's a common scene. Usually are those guys or uncles (no offence to all gentlemans), but it's true ah. But seriously, i think that's really a inconsiderate act.

Another is one that i usually experience also... It's some of the passengers that are seated. But with legs wide spread and stretch out or crossed their legs too far out and slouching comfortably playing with phones and stuffs. And because of this, with the shorts arms of mine, i have to constantly focus on not losing balance. On a crowded train as well. And there's this time, i purposely knocked his legs as a hint, hey, I'm being ignored. Great.

And I understand there's alot more such inconsiderate happenings every now and then. Such as people who completes to get seats, and some even complete on getting into the cabin, and funny enough, they complete with those that are getting out. And there are those who take up more seats to put their shopping bags or rest their body. Funny, but I believed those pictures on the articles.

But really, these are only on MRTs, many other these kind of actions are everywhere. Juz everywhere. Some say it's singaporean culture, but i think singaporean culture would do better than that. Went to taiwan last time, took their trains, and i would say their kind of culture is way better, at least they really form a single line to get into the train, no pushing or rushing. Juz plain order. Nice. Maybe through travelling to other places make u realise there's really alot of things we need to improve on. But most of the time, singapore is not that bad after all.

But really, most singaporean are not like that ya... Juz a handful ya... Okie, maybe i should read less of these articles... was chatting with my sis and bro on this MRT issue juz now also, haha, that's one of the rare common topics between us, haha...

Alright, let's put a stop to this very GP topic. Wonder does the national education module covers such topics? It'll be interesting right. Omoshiro ne. Oh ya, today BI0406 came up with an idea. That is, a graduation trip to Hong Kong. Sound fun. Anyway, planned it to be on the week after the chinese new year week. Hope it's goes well as plan den. Anyway, still early ya...got to save up first... good thing it's after the chinese new year right? And to think i also have another HK trip with the gals next year too. Wah.

Okie, think that's all for now... Going to join my sis in front of the TV. Shall update again next time.... most prob it's be full of whining about school again... Haha, I'm expecting that. But for now, need to find a way to not doze off during lectures... Any ideas? Normal methods dun work on me ya... haha...

To those tied up with upcoming exams and work, gambatte kudasai. All efforts will be paid off ya. Jia you.

Hiya, back again...
Currently @ home
Eh? Why not in school for course?

Nah, cos I've decided to give up the IBM Websphere Certification exam.
Yep, when I'm already halfway thru the course...
Anyway, really lost the interest in taking the websphere, due to the difficulty of the exam, the high cost to pay if fail, the little time left for preparation and also the little chance for me to pass... So decided to drop it... very wasted huh? But have decided it after some consideration and advice from my friends... About 4 of them have dropped it too... So ytd was the last day of the lesson I attended.

Anyway, not feeling well also... so also no mood to study for another intensive certification. Ya, fell sick after so long again... It's the juz those headaches, thoat irritations, feeling weak, coughs, flu, cold... And worst still, my coughs acts up when I was taking the Java Cert exam on tues. Nice timing, and I dun have any water with me at that time...

Yep, took the J2SE cert exam on tues as I've mentioned in the previous entry. And really had a hard time trying to control my coughs. Terrible time. And also, as much as I've expected, din really expect the my exam to choose so many questions on the Threads topics from the pool... The most difficult topic of all, and the one that I gave up studying. Forgot most of the Collections and garbage collection points too. But luckily, I managed to make it, thou not with flying colours... Got 41 out of the 61 qns correct which gave me a percentage of 67%. The passing citeria is 52%. Lucky. So nvm about those irritating coughs I've put up with, those weeks of java studying and the stupid questions that I've never ever wanted to see.

So, I'm finally done and over with the Java exam, and I'm java certified! But the websphere cert, maybe juz put on hold first bah, maybe if got chance i'll go for it another time ya.

And for ytd, Thanks alot to Ms Lam! Yep, she the lecturer in charge of our OPP. And ytd she treat us lunch @ a chinese shark fins restaurant @ grassroots club. Haha, ate a 21-course meal for the very first time too. But really enjoyed not only the food, but also meeting up with all my OPP family. Another big reunion ya. Our usual chattings and laughters really bring back memories of our Chengdu days and hopefully we can still be like this even after we graduated ya.

It's been quite a while since I'm back, and already switched back to the beat & tempo of Singapore, but still miss the days back in Chengdu. Anyway, got to look forward now ya.. Not sure why, but i juz feel that alot have changed since I'm back... Family, environment, friends, activites, relationships and feelings... Dunno why also, juz feel that it's not the same anymore or maybe worse. And this gave me another urge to juz leave and stay overseas for another period. Haha.

And also, wanna congrats to janelle too! Opps, I should call her Mrs Oh instead. Haha, congrats gal on ur ROM. And congrats to leon too! Hope both of u will cherish each other and stay together forever! Yep, attended her ROM ceremony, and it's my first time too! Haha, really a touching and emotional moment for not only the happy couple, but also to their family and friends. Will be meeting her and james for dinner tml @ tampines mall too... And juz a passing thought... when would it be my turn? If there's a when to start with...(",)

Alright, gonna stop for now... Update again when there's something worth updating ya... Take care!

Yep, today is the first day of the IBM Websphere course I taking...
Abit regret liao... the difficulty of the exam is.....haizzz...
And it's very expensive too... The exam cos $130... So die die also got to pass, if not waste money, time and effort... and also the remaining of my hols....
But really, it's not easy at all.... especially the passing criteria is 65% and above. Boo.

Anyway, now no mood to think about this IBM exam next week... Cos tml will be taking the Java Cert exam @ 10am. Cos this exam been drag till tml, I've already lost all mood and concentration for this exam. Already din touch java for this week le... So tonight no choice got to do some intensive studying for tml...

Anyway, really hope to be able to get through this Java exam as well as the websphere exam next week... After next week, it's the start of my last semester in nyp le. Time really flies, what should I do after graduation? I've no idea. Any advice people?

Hopefully after i manage to clear both exams, I would have time for squash... Both my shifu and squashmates keep asking me for squash... And I really want to play too... And also go shopping with the gals... and visit my frenz in their uni hostels too.

Haha, alright, think better go study my java le, else tml really cannot make it sia... After I'm done with these, I'll be more free to meet up with u all ya.

Take care!
Jyaa ne...
