New Wallpaper
Lian came this morning for her DEAE assignment. Lunch at Cineleisure foodcourt before meeting Klaus and gang to buy Jacky's present. Walked till my legs ached: Wisma Atria to Far East to Shaw to Ngee Ann.
Blog
Personal posts and the diary I have kept since 2002: birthdays, year-in-reviews, milestones, and whatever is on my mind.
The Returner
My IGRA interview was meant for 9am, but the lecturer turned an hour late and Lian was coming over, so I told him I'd book Wednesday. The whole class got interviewed except me. Watched The Returner.
National Kidney Foundation Show 2003 Part 1
Woke afternoon for lunch at World Trade Centre foodcourt, now Harbour Front Centre. The food was lousy and there's little to see, though it's nicer inside after renovations. Came home to print my MMAD/MMAS task 7.
Express Bus 501
Had my coffeeshop's lor mee for lunch, weeks since my last, I'd missed it. Went to Compass Point to meet Lian, who was 30 minutes late. Sat at Delifrance for a snack; the DeliPotatoes were nice.
Year 3 Electives
Didn't blog yesterday, so here it is. School for MMAD tutorial, to submit TBCM assignment and pick my Year 3 electives. SP's elective system is dumb; I'll spare the rant. I took JSPG, Java Server Programming.
Dreamcatcher
School for TBCM. My assignment is done, printed and bound. Skipped VB, since the lesson was for assignment work I'd finished. Lunch at Marina Square Mos Burger; tried the HotDog this time, nothing special. Watched Dreamcatcher.
Steal
No school, so Lian came over to watch Steal, a VCD I'd bought with The Returner. It's good, nicer than The Recruit, which I'd missed in cinemas. Lunch at Cineleisure foodcourt, then Heeren and Ngee Ann.
The Recruit
School for TBCM. Next week's the TBCM job-interview role play, so formal wear. Shouldn't have washed my long pants. Thanks to a classmate, my MMAD/MMAS prototype is done; only the beta test reports and questionnaire left.
BTT Passed
Passed my BTT! Lian came over in the morning, then lunch at Marina Square Mos Burger. Watched Iron Ladies 2, a two-hour Thai film, the campest I've seen, though some parts were touching beneath the comedy.
IGRA Almost Completed
Lunch was Ng Ah Sio's pork ribs soup at Rangoon Road, long overdue, and the best in Singapore. Spent the afternoon rushing my IGRA assignment, more or less done. I'd love to make the camera move.
IGRA Madness
Lunch was my favourite minced pork noodles at Bestway building, months since I had it, sorely missed. Spent the first half of the afternoon on my IGRA assignment, resting the second since it taxes the brain.
IGRA Is Tough Actually
School morning for TBCM, leaving 1pm for lunch at Bugis, starving, having skipped dinner and breakfast. Browsed OG at Albert Complex, then wandered Sim Lim Square, unable to find my ideal PDA at the right price.
TBCM Final Presentation
Had my TBCM final presentation morning; everything went smoothly, and I got 72/100, the lecturer generous. With mass lectures cancelled, we have long breaks and don't need to come in on certain days. School ended earlier.
MMPJ Presentation
Heard mass lectures are cancelled because of the SARS outbreak; uncertain at first, but BlackBoard confirmed it. Not sure whether to feel happy or sad. My Year 3 electives briefing is off too. Had MMPJ presentation.
April’s Fool
Had my PCT practical test today, hard to say if lucky or not. Unlucky to draw WinNT, which sucks: no device manager, IE 2.0, and many unsupported drivers. Lucky too, since WinNT meant Lian took second session.
Late Dinner
After school, shopped around Orchard for Lian's presentation clothes. A light lunch at the Cineleisure foodcourt: macaroni soup, since it's best to avoid heaty fried food and drink water. Napped till 8.30pm, then a late dinner.
Ponderosa Belated Birthday Lunch
Five of us were meant for the belated birthday lunch, but only three showed: Shaun, David and me. Ate Ponderosa at Raffles City, my first in six years; plenty has changed, like the new weekday buffet.
The Core
Lian came this afternoon for her VBAS assignment, and we had the duck noodles my mom brought back. Then watched The Core at Great World City, a 2-hour-15 film, and great since I love Earth-disaster movies.
Headache
My MMAS lecturer forgot to turn up, giving us 90 minutes free; it'd have been 120, but we wasted 30 waiting outside. Spent on TBCM, then lunch, then another hour's break since MMAD lecture was online.
VB Practical Test Results
The VB practical test results are out; I got an A+ (90-100), which surprised me, since I'd expected an A. Happy nonetheless. I also got my MMPJ practical result, a B, as expected. Solved my VB algorithm.
BTT Test
Visited Takashimaya foodcourt for the first time since its renovation. I'd gone once before, found the food pricey, and stayed away until today. Surprised the prices were reasonable; not cheap, but fair. It was raining heavily.
No Classes Today
Went to school for TBCM, only to find a note on door: the lecturer's on MC. Came for TBCM, so if he'd told us earlier I needn't have come. Already there, I did my MMPJ presentation.
