My year 3, semester 1 exams are over! Yesterday was my last paper, CS4254 - IS Project Management. The paper was the most difficult paper for me in this semester and even most of my friends say so. We did the past year paper and it was much easier even though it is set by the same lecturer.

Will be heading down to SITEX 2008 later at 12pm to hoot the Samsung 2233SW 22” widescreen LCD monitor for SGD$239 for Li Xiang. That is really a good buy. It boost a resolution nearly of a 24″ widescreen monitor of 1920 x 1080, an aspect ratio of 16:9 and a 5ms response time. Click here for the full specifications.

I will be leaving to Taiwan on the 14th December 2008 and coming back on the 31st December 2008. The first 6 days 5 nights will be a tour package and after that we will extend free and easy till the 31st December 2008. The flight is by Singapore Airlines (SQ). This will be my 2nd time taking SQ, the last time I took was to KL at least 15 years ago or so.

I think after I come back from Taiwan, my mandarin will definitely be improved!

Had my first paper on Saturday 9am. It is a good thing that my school McDonald’s is now 24 hours and Subway is also 24 hours during the exams period which ends on 6th December 2008.

This semester, all my papers are open book. My first paper is CS3251 - Technology Strategy Management , the paper was average, pretty similar to the previous year paper.

Caught Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa at GV Grand at Great World City, wanted to book at GV VivoCity but I booked wrongly!! I think I have booked at least 100 movies before through GV Website and this is the first time I booked wrongly, must be due to exams stress.

Great World City changed a lot or at least since the last time I been there! There is now Fish & Co there, Mark & Spencers replaces Best Denki, Burger King replaces Country Mana, British India replaces a Malaysia Fashion Boutique (can’t remember the name, but starts with W) and Pump Room is also there as well.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa was not bad, I think it is better than the first one, the penguins are still as smart and cunning as ever. At least this time I think they got more screen time compared to Madagascar 1.

I love the OST, the “I like to move it, move it” song is now sang by will.i.am.

Also, there will be a Madagascar 3 set to be released in 2011 where the characters will make it back to New York.

Okie back to study. Having CS4251 - Strategic IS Planning on Tuesday and my last paper CS4254 - IS Project Management on Thursday.

Good luck to me =D

Li Xiang has finished her exams! Argh!

As usual, I am so busy with school, as said previously, I got assignment due every single week since the 3rd week of school. It is now mid October. My last day of school is 14th November 2008. I got 3 exams on the 22nd, 25th and 27th of November 2008. The confirmation date for my Taiwan trip is getting closer each day, it is now mid December 2008. I think I should be able to get the exact date at the end of this month or latest by early November 2008.

Last Friday, Li Xiang has no school, so I skipped my lecture (the lecture is quite useless as that module is not examinable) and we spend some quality time together. I sent her to school to loan her Canon 20D DSLR camera for her photography assignment and then we went to Singapore Botanical Gardens to re-take some of her shots for her photography assignment.

After spending an hour there, we proceed on to Orchard Road to catch a movie, we caught Big Stan. It is the first movie directed by Rob Schneider and the movie was good. Personally, I love movies starring Rob Schneider and Adam Sandler as I have not been disappointed in any movies with them in it yet.

On Sunday, we went for Tim Sum at Crystal Jade Dining at VivoCity as our Thailand friends are leaving, they are here on a business trip to discuss something with my mom. 3 years ago when we visited Thailand, they really took good care of us! I will definitely be going to Thailand again when it is more stable over there. After the Tim Sum, Li Xiang and I headed home to catch some sleep while my mom and brother went to Takashimaya as they are having a storewide 15% discount because of their 15th anniversary in Singapore.

At night, they went to Serangoon Gardens because my mom’s cousin baby is one month old while Li Xiang and I headed to Central for the famous Ma-Rutama’s Ramen. They are opening a branch soon in Liang Court on the 1st November 2008. We walked around Clark Quay and Liang Court and took some pictures along the way. Last weekend was the best weekend I had since school starts.

Our 4th anniversary is coming on the 24th October 2008, going to bake her a chocolate Chiffon cake. It is my VERY FIRST attempt in baking a cake, hopefully it does not fail. I think it is easier for me to do programming than baking. LOL
