Exam is over. Haha. Had my first (and last) exam for the semester yesterday. I hope everything went well. :) I completed the paper in slightly less than two hours. Could have left together with qy and got a free ride home. Oh well, my kiasu nature made me stayed until the last minute. I just don't want to bang my head against the wall when my results don't turn out well and I start blaming myself for leaving the examination hall early. Haha. I just want to avoid having regrets.

So even if I don't do well, it's not because I didn't work hard enough.

One more semester in nus. Probably one more exam to sit for. At most two. Though the past semester had been rather hectic, I still enjoy studying. Sometimes, I felt that I'm really lucky, in the sense that I enjoyed most of my modules in nus, and I've made some good friends during my undergraduate days. Not many have both of these two conditions satisfied.

Went back to school today to attend a talk. My idol gave the talk. Haha. He became my idol ever since I realized he is able to communicate maths effectively in both languages. Of course, his research is quite outstanding too. Haha. I think he is a real talent. And he is quite good looking as well. BUT, before you try to find out more about him, let me add one more fact: he is married with a daughter. Lol.

I remember I used to feel jealous or unhappy when someone else did better academically, or is more successful in some ways. I'm glad that this belongs to the past, and ever since the later part of my jc days, I no longer have such negative feelings of those who did better. Instead, I thought that true friends should encourage and motivate each other to improve. For the recent two years, I have this sense of excitement when I heard of some outstanding individuals.

Having jealousy washed off is one of the best things which happened in my life. It added a new light to education and made me more keen to learn from others. It's the process of learning from others and reflecting upon ourselves which make us improve. The school environment and people I met all have got a role to play, and I'm really grateful for that.

Haha. I think I've talked too much for the day. Shall take a rest tonight. Have to start to piah for my thesis. Meeting my supervisor next week. Argh.

A short update before I go off to write my helpsheet. :)

The past few days had been the most relaxing part of this semester. No stress over reports and presentations. All I need to do is to study. I used to complain bout studying, didn't I? That was because I didn't have to go through the chores of writing reports and preparing for presentations. Studying is really much easier in comparison.

My comp was down for the past few days. I'm glad it has recovered now. The most important thing bout my comp is that, I must be able to type my thesis and go online to do research. msn and webcam are important too, but secondary. I keep thinking my supervisor is going to throw me out of his office soon. Haha. I'm just guilty. He wrote an encouraging reply to my email. And I guess, it makes me even more guilty. A part of me feels that I should be spending more time on research. And because I'm receiving more money each month, I feel that my thesis should be of higher quality as compared to the rest.

On one hand, I hope exam will be over asap so that I can start work on my thesis. On the other hand, I hope this study break will last longer, so that I can relax longer. Haha. Oh well, face the reality, it is going to be over on 29th.

Time to go and write my helpsheet. I think I must get an A+ this time round. Otherwise, I'll feel that I've wasted my semester away. Oh well, it isn't within my control sometimes. Sigh.

All the best to those taking exams. :)

One more presentation this afternoon. Two more reports to be submitted. After my aode exam at the end of the month, this hectic semester will be over. :)

Received my copies of the agreement letter and stipend, so everything is more or less settled for now. I'm finally bringing money home. Haha. And I look forward to the day when I can apply for my own credit cards and give a supplementary card to my mum.

Studies wise, everything is fine and well, except that I have not met up with my supervisor for a long time. I forsee I'll be working day and night on my thesis this coming holidays. Haha. But not to worry, for those whom I've promised a treat, I'll still treat you this holidays, and those whom promised to give me a treat, I'll still go for your treat.

I guess I'm much happier now, as compared to the beginning of the semester. Like every other time when I had underwent some form of setback, I've plans to undergo some kind of reform. Haha.

Time to do my reports. For those who are going to sit for exams, all the best and jiayou.
