Took my last exams paper in NUS last Thursday on 3rd December 2009. It was an evening paper so it lasted from 5pm till 7pm. So technically I have graduated, but I can only double confirm it when my results are out on the 22nd December 2009.

Looking back last year on the 14th December 2008, I was also going to Taiwan.

Today marks the last lecture which is CS4266 of my studies in NUS. It is also my last day of school. Next week will be my reading week and following that 2 weeks of exams. Similar to previous semesters, I have 4 examinable modules.

Once I have finished my exams, I will be going to Taiwan for my graduate trip and after that Hong Kong with Li Xiang!

Today is Li Xiang 25th birthday! This year is a little bit more relax for us as we manage to have the whole day to ourselves.

We had dinner at TWG Tea at Ion Orchard as Li Xiang always wanted to try the dessert and tea there.

*Update 21st March 2014* On Twitter’s 8th birthday, Twitter launches first-tweets.com, where you can use it to find your first tweet! Just type in your @username, or that of anyone — your best pal, favorite comedian, a star or a president.

*Update 25th February 2013* It seems that Twitter has been rolling out the ability to download your Twitter Archive to most users already, I have created another tutorial for this feature, lesterchan.net/blog/2013/02/25/twitter-archive/.

Today marks our 5th anniversary. This year is a little unique. We did not buy each other gifts nor write each other a card. Instead we bought a card together and both of us will write in the same card.

We had a buffet lunch at Carosel at Royal Plaza. It is S$45 per pax during a weekend lunch and we get to redeem S$10 worth of carpark fees which is equivalent to about 3 hours of parking at Royal Plaza.

The outcome of my Are You Being Served? Mission has been posted on the Are You Being Served? website, check out Lester & Li Xiang: Sound service!

Here is a snippet of the post:

I always complain that the service level in Singapore is lousy and now with the Are You Being Served? platform, I will see whether what I complain holds true.

Things I hate the most:

I have been addicted to Apple’s Push Notification Service ever since I bought Prowl. There are endless possibilities on what you can do with Push Notifications.

The Apple Push Notification Service is a mobile service created by Apple Inc. that was released with iPhone OS 3.0 on the 17th June 2009. It uses push technology through a constantly-open IP connection to forward notifications from the servers of third party applications to the iPhone or iPod Touch; such notifications may include badges, sounds or custom text alerts.

Singapore Airlines is having promotion right now! S$464 (nett) per pax for a round trip to Hong Kong. The sales period is from 31st July 2009 to 30th September 2009. The outbound travel period for the tickets is from 31st July 2009 to 30 September 2010.

We have booked our tickets. We will be leaving on Saturday, 19th December 2009 at 8:30am via SQ860 and coming back on the Sunday, 27th December 2009 at 5:20pm via SQ863.
