Happy Chinese New Year

Happy CNY! This would be my first time celebrating cny without my family, and it's not fun at all. Well.. at least i manage to celebrate a little with my aunt, she gave me ang pau wohoo, at least one aspect of cny was still here.

I had my cny dinner at a place called Wong Ting near the city center, a few of us joined the singapore society. This is because the massoc's cny dinner was after cny.. yea weird.. the dinner was alright, food isn't that good but at least i met new people and there was a cny feeling to it. ^^



Manchester Games

Like Nottingham Games, I travelled to Manchester to compete in basketball. Woke up early to prepare and made my way to the train station. I arrived a too early though.. i forgot the was going out with a bunch of malaysian with their timing.

When they finally arrived, the most amazing thing happened. I realise I left my basketball shoes in my room. Awesome right? who the heck goes to a basketball competition without basketball shoes?! Lols i always laugh when i think about it.

Nothing much to talk about the games we played cause.. we got our butt kicked.. real badly..

Up side! I met a few nice people, and we had dim sum! It was rather cheap (don't convert) and they tasted good too.



Exam Results

The moment of truth. Exam results were passed to personal tutors and students are given the choice to find out their results sooner or later. I chose sooner, couldn't take the pressure of not knowing how i did.

So i went up to my tutor's office and knocked on his door. I told him my reason of visit and he started  looking though piles of papers while i sat waiting with sweaty palms.

He took awhile to find my results as he forgot what year i was in. When finally found the paper, he gave me a serious face and told me that the exam results are most likely not to change from the official release. At that moment I thought I had failed a paper and had to retake.. I'm so screwed..

Then he flipped the paper to look for my name and cooly, "first of all you passed all your modules" Hell yeah! I lied on the table after hearing it. He passed me a paper to write down my marks for each module.

As expected, I did badly for the Manufacturing paper.. but extremely happy i passed.

Anyway here are my marks.

MEC214 - 46
MAS253 - 80
EEE218 - 91
MEC202 - 71
MEC205 - 59
MEC203 - 86

and those make an average of 72.2 which is first class! haha I'm pretty happy when I found out  that not only did i passed everything i averaged a first class. Cool.

But now that the excitement had settled down, I realise that I could've done better and I need to do better if I were to maintain my first class. So spring semester here I come!
