It’s the time of the year again where we need to shift to our vacation stay room. Block 11 will be closed for conference so I was shifted to block 12.
Luckily for me, this time, my room is just located a few meters away i.e. at 12/6/O. I was planning to shift on Monday, but was just too lazy to pack and decided to get the key from the management office today and start shifting bit by bit.
Guess will be staying here for the next one month
Shifting…
IGC Outing
Started the day with karaoke session at Party World KTV located at Orchard. Of course, as in every outing, there are bound to be people that are late, thus, we waited for about 20 mins before making our way there.
First time going to karaoke in Singapore!!
We spent about 2 hours there before heading to Marina Square for bowling and dinner.
BC was so proud of his strike video that he watch it over and over again..ha-ha…
Left earlier as I needed to be back in PGP for RA Review.
Post-Exam
Having endured people moving out last week; kids screaming at the amphitheater; cleaners shouting across the corridor; My exams are finally over!
In order to avoid the same fate as last year, I've decided to go and confirm my vacation stay room and to my disappointment, the same thing happened again. Not only they didn't know what's Resident Assistant, there's no room allocated to me. They just kept questioning me why I didn't apply for vacation stay. On top of that, there's no proper queue system. They just choose who they wants to serve first. There was 2 people that overtook the queue, not because they want to but because they were told to do so. And finally after sitting there for almost 20 mins, two of the staffs did not know what to do and direct me to another person. Maybe they should brief the staff on the procedures.
I also heard that we are required to pay for the trolley rental. Not very sure about this but I hope that's not true. We are already forced to shift to another room so that they can earn more money by renting out the place for conference, it is just not right for they to make even more money from the students by asking them to pay for the trolley rental. Given only 4 hours time period to shift everything, having a trolley will definitely speed things up.
On the bright side, shifting around can make you throw all the unwanted things away. Sometimes, I don't even know there's so many things stuffed into my room until I have to pack them when shifting. Also, it's a good exercise for the lazy me :D
Going out for outing now..Packing? Wait till tomorrow.

Busy...
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!!).
加油! 加油!

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.
