One Month Break

Finally, exams are over. This is no doubt a relieve for me since exams are one of the toughest fight that student need to face during their period of studies. This December will be a very busy December for me since I have tons of stuff line up for me to complete before ending my one month break of studies.

Well I do really hope that I can finish all the task that I aim to do before school start if not I will, I will..... Forget it, I will do it during school period. hahaha..

Module Preference Exercise, which is also known as MPE, is a system that my school adopt to allow student to choose their module before the actually bidding of modules, sounds weird isn't it?!?! It might be weird for most people, but that's how our school system work. However, I got all my modules that I wanted in MPE which also means that I won't have to bid for modules during the later part of December which is definitely a good news for me.

Well since now is holiday, I shall take a short break before continuing my work. Cya!

2nd Year Semester 1 in NUS

13 weeks has passed, time really flies and a lot of things happen during this semester, good things and bad things as well, although not much of a bad thing happen during this semester.

This semester was quite an interesting semester for me because due to the modules that I took this semester are very interesting.

The modules that I have took this semester are:

1) Computer networking CS2105
2) Information Management System IS3101
3) Service Science IS3220
4) Business Communication IS2101
5) Politics and Governance in Singapore GEK2003

For computer networking, the content is a bit dry and also there are programming assignment required to be done for this module, which is socket programming, where I do not have any experience in. Although it is tough, but I did not give up and tried my best to do every single assignment without much help from the others as this is a better way for me to learn rather than asking others for help. Unique right?!

Overall this module is quite interesting cause you get to know how each protocol works and understand the high level of computer networking.

For Information Management System, this is also rather interesting as I get to know in depth stuff of Information System in the real world. Although it is quite similar to one of the previous module that I have took, IS1105, but this is more in depth. We also have a group presentation which I think we did well in handling the topic that we were given which is Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in healthcare sector. It is quite fun as we did a skit in our presentation.

For Service Science, initially I took this module just because I left with no choice but to take this to satisfy my 5 modules per semester quota. The reason is because before I took this module, I have zero interest in service science field. On top of that, due to the high bidding score for this module, I only have a some group of friends taking this module and most of them had already formed their own group.

Then I thought that "Ahhhh I have to work with people I do not know, and 100% of this module comes from group presentation and idea/concept that the group come out with". After the first lecture, my thoughts that I have came out to be untrue. I formed myself a very best team that I had and we did pretty well together as we do not have unnecessary conflict or argument during the discussion. As I conclude that this team is one of the "dream team" that I ever had in NUS.

Well I hope that my future project group teammate will be as good as the team I had for service science. Hope so....

Business communication is one of the so called "English" module for me and of course whenever English is concern, I have big headache for it. Cause I am not strong in English language. However, I take this mod to brush up my presentation skills as I understand that one of my major weakness is presentation and this module act as a platform for me to improve my presentation skills which will benefit me for my future.

Last but not least is Politics and Governance in Singapore, is the GEM that I took for this semester. I took this module is because i have interest in it but have no knowledge in it. Get what I meant? Means I am Noob in this area lol. Taking this module has really help me understand a lot about politics and slightly in depth on the history to the present with regards to the politics issue. Although I understand that I will not score well in this module probably the so called last 20% of the bell curve, however, I have no regret since I get to learn more about Singapore politics which I believe that university student should know more about the politics matters in Singapore. The lecture and the tutorial are really interesting and there is debate as well for the tutorial where we will get into group and each week there will be an opposition and a proposition team to discuss on certain matter which put up by the lecturer to be discuss in the tutorial. This is a rather interesting concept as students has to do their own research and then do a debate on the topic given.

Overall this semester is really fun and interesting well hope the same thing applies to me as well for the next semester which I doubt so since there's Math module that I need to take. Oh well.... But before this semester ends, I still have 3 exams to go for. Well best of luck to everyone who is taking exams!

Midterm!!

Been mugging all these days and really trying hard to achieve what I am aiming for. No matter how hard, I will still endure it! To everyone who are preparing for the finals or mid terms, good luck! Let's fight together!

One Liter of Tears

Plot: This drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled One Litre of Tears has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.

Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walking in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a rare disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least.

How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

My View: This drama is really interesting and Aya character is strong who really motive people around her and the people who watched this drama to fight on and treasure lives while you live. This drama inspires me into creating something useful towards the healthcare sector. Although I don't have any strong idea yet, but I will keep on researching to see how I can contribute to help out the patients who are currently fighting against their illnesses. This drama is really worth watching, although it's a slow beginning, however, as the story goes on, the meaningful part will surfaced. So please don't think that this drama is a bit boring and then stop watching. Best drama that people should really watched.

OST:

Life

Have you ever asked yourself what you want to be?

Have you ever questioned or doubted yourself in the things that you do? 

Have you ever run away from problems?

Have you taken the first step in the things that you want to achieve?

Finally, Have you ever believe in yourself?

I have a dream, I have a goal but however, I did not take the first step of achieving it. Comfort zone, is the place where all people want to be, but living in the comfort zone will not be able to achieve their dreams. No matter how far, how tough or how difficult, we have to overcome it. I understand is tough, sometimes I have tried to run away also however, in order to achieve your dream, running away is not an option. 

Take academic for example, sometimes when you fail a subject or even one assignment, this doesn't tells you that you suck in that subject, it just proof that you need to improve on that area. Well is normal to fail when you are in school, because that's the only place where you can fail and learn.

So, students especially, take this chance, your only chance, to fight for your dream while you can.

Reborn

Decide to revive this blog since well it quite a pity to dispose this blog since I did everything including designing the blog from scratch. I am currently studying in National University of Singapore, major in Information System.

I had a very interesting summer vacation where I get to do lots of interesting stuff and get in touch with new technologies. On top of that, I get to work with great people!

I had my so called internship at Microsoft Innovation Center in Singapore. Well it pretty sad that my internship is going to end as school reopening.

Throughout this summer, I understand what I really want and from now on, I going to go towards my goal, which is doing start-up. I always wanting to do this, but don't know where to start. However, things changed, I understand my goal and the focus that I am going to head to.

Be sure to catch up my new company soon! Well probably not SO soon. But be prepared, I will be back :)
