More codes to come

As planned, we went to Yum Cha this morning; reached there at 9:10am. Guess what!? We are 2nd in the queue waiting for tables and the queue is getting longer and longer... I've being there quite a few times, and this is the first time I saw such long queue. Maybe, tomorrow is public holiday and these people had taken time off to go there to have dim sum for breakfast. More shocking things happen after that... the waitresses were too busy to serve us that, people starts to self-service in a very kiasu manner. People were waiting at the kitchen door for the dim sum, and once the food are just pushed out, the next minute the food are gone! hahaha... that is how horrible it is today. And of course, those who are slow, will not be able to get the food they want. Since we undergrads are unable to compete with those aunties, we lose out. Everytime we join the crowd to wait at the kitchen door, we came back with only 1 or 2 plates. And of course, a few of the customers complaint; since we are paying for the service, why do we have to self-service?

Had a terrible time working out the codes for financial math module. Another project coming up! Codes again! And now this is for QC module.. and we have to run a total of 45000 iterations for simulations.. According to the lecturer's demo, his 10 iterations took up 5 minutes. Now I understand why he says group members have to take turns to stare at the computer!

I guess after all this programming codes and thousands of iterations, I will become expert in computing.. haha Hopefully, I will not have crossed eyes... X)
