its only the 3rd week in sch, but already starting to feel the stress liao...... but this is mainly cause by the programming module, the java programming. the rest i can still read and understand it, but the programming can really make me go crazy.
spend most of the last week doing the programming lab. and it's just lab 1 and already like that. getting stuck here and there. wonder how to survive the next 8 lab. the 1st lab is due on tue and still got quite alot of errors here and there now. think is maybe becos i didn't have java background and yet i'm exempted from the introduction module. so i'm put into the more advance module straight away...
on thurs went for the crusade afternoon event cos it was union day so there was no lesson from 1130 to 1430. in the evening went for the concert engineer welcome tea. luckily its not one that need so much commitment and mainly just ad hoc basis. so just go to learn how to operate the PA system...
now watching the campus superstar final... wonder who can be the grand champion. shawn or keely? well, i'm netural but shawn may have higher chance as he got lots of supporter. so wait for the results in 1/2 hrs time...

Welcome Week 2007
sorry had been busy for the past week although its still the 2nd week, but already got quite alot of things to do...
it was NTU freshmen welcome week last week and we had IT fair, CCA fair, carnival.... yup on monday i bought the new fujitsu laptop E8410 for like $2467 but its already quite cheap compared to outside. took almost 2 hrs to buy it and in the end missed one lecture cos the queueing time was much longer then expected...
as for CCA i put my name in quite a few, like concert engineer, guitarist, astronomy, campus cruasde, photography... but of course can't join all la, just put name only. confirm joing CCC then the rest dunno yet...
for lesson wise 3 tutorials started last wk but no labs yet. but i'm already starting to feel the uni workload and stress liao. faces alot of problems when solving the tutorials and always can't get the correct answers on 1st attempt :( sianz... this week the full swing will start so i got to be mentally prepared, if not may get a heart attack :p

After 1 week in NTU...
it has been a week since i started lessons in NTU, and so far so good... the whole of last week only got lectures so quite free, plus thurs is national day holiday so in total only had a few hours of lessons...
for this week some of the tutorial will start but not all, the rest plus lab will start next week. this week will have CCA fair, IT fair, library orientation, etc. still fumming about whether to buy the laptop from sch, cos all the models i saw either this not good or that not good and cannot find any perfect ones. tmr go see the show then see how lor... as for CCA i'll join campus crusade but still thinking if whether to join a second one but i doubt so cos i dun think i'll have enough time
as for the national day all of us didn't get the tickets to watch at marina :( then one of my SPCCC staff grandma passed away, so some of us went to the wake instead. quite a big difference in the atmosphere between the two side. but those schedule is planned by god so just thank him for whatever he planned as he know best what to give to us...

1st 2 days in NTU
it has been 2 days since i start sch in NTU, and can say that currently it's still not bad but its still the honeymoon week so hard to say. this week only got lecutres so there's alot of free time but spend most of it looking at computers and thinking which one to buy. still havent' decide whether to buy in sch or wait till comex...
i think from week 3 onwards the stress will start to come in with all the lab assigments and reports, esp the programming one which can make me crazy... think must start studying that one myself first.
the sianz thing is all the electives that i want all full liao. i think the seniors took it liao as they have priority so i think most likely have to take econs. the rest i think have to wait till next sem...
and another disappointed thing is that we can't get the ndp tickets after all.. at first on sunday my friend actually got some tickets which he can give to us but somehow i think things screw up so i think he can't get the tickets out or wat i dunno la, but now i think all of us have to revert back to watching the parade on TV. :(

NTU Orientation, Disrupt from NS, Festival of Praise (FOP)
just came back from the FOPit has been a week full of activities since wed, with the ntu orientation from wed to fri then went for the FOP on sat and sun... had been outside most of the time for the pass few days and sch is officially starting in like... 7 hours??? yup its true...
on thurs we had the ntu college of engineering orientation talk where i got a better understanding on how the sch system work, then at night got pulse talk in church which ended only abt 2300h
on fri there was a freshmen welcome ceremony in ntu... mine was in the morning session then after that went back to PLAB to take back the Pink IC! but not ORD yet... only disrupt and still have to serve the 35 days. at night got worship practice...
on sat went for the FOP with zhi qiang. we reached there at abt 1730h so still got quite a good seat. it was full house and totally pack and i think there's still ppl outside when its full. it ended only at abt 2240h and everyone rushes out to take the bus... i think the organistation is very bad as there's no queue for the bus and everyone just rush to the road when the bus comes. so waited for like 40 mins before we manage to got up a bus.. the worst thing there is they use private bus so cannot get too many ppl to stand so there's a waste of space...
then today also went to the FOP after church. there's lesser ppl today and there's no queue and we could just go in after reaching. i went with roger but we reach there quite late. luckily there's ppl who booked seats for us so we could get good seats also. and he drive there so we can avoid squeezing for the bus and just drive seamlessly out. after that went to old airport road for supper. there got a wonton mee store which ppl said is very good. yup i try that and it's really good. but must wait for quite long and they give u a number when u order then when they call your number then u go collect.
now ntu lesson is officially starting in less than 7 hrs... luckily mine monday is start at 1130h so can wake up later tmr. very tired now from the lack of sleep for the pass few days. going to slp soon...

QET
went to NTU today for the QET and it's the same format as the pass year paper, which is to write an essay of 250-300 words. but i think i wrote abt 400+ words but like only use less than 1/2 of the paper they provide. if use all i think can be abt 100 words liao...
basically just have that today and i also went to collect the ezlink card and hand in the Giro form which i think i've miss the deadline liao cos its not written on the website and i didn't see the booklet for quite sometime... for the ezlink i still haven't activate yet cos my NS concession pass still valid till 8 Aug, after that then i buy from the student one which is $9 cheaper...
tmr will have orientation talk and i think i'll be useful as now still quite blur in some of the things and hopefully can solve tmr if not do wrong things then got big prob liao..
