In the next two weeks before the end of the semester, I've got two assignments to complete, one poster presentation, one pop-quiz, and two continual assessment (one this coming Friday and another next Thursday).
I also need to prepare the info sheet for DSC3201 (one piece of A4 paper) which I haven't thought of what to include in it yet.
Exams will start on the 23rd April and end on the 5th of May. After that, I'll be going for a long deserving break :) But that's not until I shift out of my room (again!!).

FYP - Confirmed
I've finally decided on my FYP prof. It was a difficult decision but I hope I made the right decision.
Today's supposed to be the released of SPM results. I wonder how my brother did? :D
For the final 3 weeks of the semester, I've got 2 take home assignment (25%), 2 continual assessment and 1 pop-quiz. I'm beginning to feel that 24hours a day is not enough. Need to work harder!!
Anyway, TPJC 25th Anniversary Homecoming Dinner will be held on the 28th of May 2011. There's a high possibility that I'll not be able to make it as I plan to go back to Malaysia at that time. Wonder if any of my friends will be attending?
Lift Maintenance
The lifts had been taking turn to go out of service. The maintenance is scheduled to be over by this Saturday. I hope it will be done soon. It's really quite inconvenient to have only one lift functioning at a time especially when we need to go up since we can't use the stairs to get into our cluster.

FYP Second Interview
Went for my second interview today with my prospective mentor, Grace. It was not really considered an interview. Basically she told me more about what we will be doing in the lab and the people. Based on what she said, it seems to be a helpful and friendly lab to work it.
Awaiting confirmation from the prof now.
Happy Birthday, Dear!

FYP-Hunting
Just a few days ago, I began to email Professors to search for a suitable lab to do my Final Year Project. I guess this is NUS's way of preparing you for job-hunt when you graduate. So far, I've emailed about 7 Profs and among them, there are 2 positive replies (indicating they have projects available), 2 negative replies (lab's full or no projects available) and no replies from the rest (how demoralizing)
Anyway, I've just met one of the prof this afternoon and things doesn't look that good considering that she's interviewing a few other students and I do not intend to continue to do PhD. She'll let me know by the end of March whether I'll be accepted or not. I think continuing to pursue Masters/PhD is seen as a very important criterion with some Profs listing that as their top criteria. Maybe I should start considering too
I hope to spend a month or so to learn driving. A skill which I think is not essential but useful to know. I don't think I'll have much time to learn once I start working next time so hope to accomplish it this coming hols. I might also start literature review of my FYP project depending on the Prof (well, that's assuming I can get a project in the first place) And lastly, maybe find a part time job or internship to earn some money and have FUN!
