Finally found some time off from my study/slacking/self-discovery schedule to update this blog. Ya look at the time stamp on this, I've become a night owl and the lucky thing is almost all classes has concluded last week leaving slightly more than a week of "free" time before the exams on the 16th of Nov.

This is going to be one of the typical rant post so bare with me as usual...

1. Screwed up my CPE204 quiz but thats not the most piss off thing about this whole thing. The questions were literally made available days before the quiz and I had it sitting on my hard drive. Was totally put off by the disclaimer note attached to the questions. The lecturer uploaded a "sample quiz" and stated that the questions MAY NOT be repeated in the quiz since these are examples from the notes with solutions. Hate myself for totally believing the quiz questions were going to be different. All I did was going through the "sample quiz" to get an idea of what may come out, totally not paying attention to the question in context therefore not even bothering to look up the solutions in the notes. I hope I can pass the quiz with the knowledge of the fundamentals (or the lack of it)...there goes maintaining a B grade so far.

2. Exams are coming so I just have to SHOUT it out here!!!!! So looking forward to the 29th when thats my last paper.

3. Examination duration has been cut down from 2hr 30min to 2hr. It could make no difference or be worse. If the paper difficulty is brought down a notch due to the 30min reduction, then its fair but if the paper is still designed for a 2hr 30min duration then it would totally suck buttcrack. Oh and the geniuses at NTU decided to throw in an evening time slot for exams as well. Now I have 2 papers starting at 5pm. Great!!!

4. Borat the movie might not even make it to the screens here despite spotting the movie posters at a few cinemas. The scheduled release date was 9th Nov but after checking the various cinema webbys, Borat is nowhere to be found. Singapore is always trying to be politically correct. They banned Zoolander from screening in Singapore because we might offend Malaysia (which also banned the movie). Borat definitely is more controversial than Zoolander and therefore i'm not hoping it will make it to screens here...so much for democracy

Ah well great week for english soccer. Man Utd demolished Portsmouth while its closets rivals Chelsea lost to Spurs giving the Red Devils a 3 point lead and a massive 10 goal difference
