the last semester

The start of this year also marks the start of my last semester in university - assuming I pass everything haha. Besides my final year project, which I'm quite behind in terms of progress, I'm also taking three modules, PC1144 Physics IV, CS3211 Parallel and Concurrent Programming and CS4222 Wireless Computing and Sensor Networks. PC1144 and CS3211 are required modules, while CS4222 is optional for me.

Hopefully this semester will turn out fine.

happy 2013

Its the beginning of another year!

Last year's countdown marked the first time ever in my life I celebrated the beginning of a new year in another country - South Korea. Memories are a little fuzzy now (signs that I'm getting old?); fortunately I have recorded everything in this old trusty blog of mine. I can, however, still remember standing, with my friend, together with huge crowds of South Koreans in front of their Bosingak and waiting for the bell to ring exactly at midnight, before getting slightly disappointed when there were no fireworks. Haha.

This year things are back to normal, just like previous years where I started the day wondering whether I should move my ass down to Marina Bay to catch the fireworks and immerse myself in the atmosphere, before deciding that it was not worth all the trouble for that eight minutes of fireworks. Maybe if I have a better camera the trouble will be more worth it.

The year 2012 will go down in history as one of the highlights of my life, where I spent the longest duration of time in an overseas country. Overall the student exchange has been a great experience, although I think it could have been better.

Like the previous two years, I wished for myself to be happy, and it stays the same as the new year beckons.

This year will mark the year I complete my university studies, and (hopefully) step out into the working world. I have plenty of doubts and uncertainties about myself right now, hopefully I can resolve them soon enough.

Happy new year!
