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)

On the Go - eating and project-ing

I just have to blame myself for all the last minute work, and now... I need more time! Someone please help me. Among all these tortures in finishing my projects, I still manage to squeezzze some of my time to enjoy myself. hehe =)

Thanks to Dora, I'm going to Chinatown Yum Cha for the 3rd time! They were so excited when they heard about this breakfast dim sum buffet which is only abt $13plus per person and is very worth it. And yes, we are going there this coming monday!(before they close for renovation til 18Nov)
Before that, we were planning to go to Chomp Chomp for dinner cos Dora has never gone there before and the next minute they discard the plan and decided to go Settler's Cafe instead.. haha. And now it is because of me, since I have not gone there yet! My group of stats friends are just so funny... we can get soooo excited about food.

Yeah! 2 public holidays are coming up.. Suppose to go Gelare with my RWM friends this coming tues but just realised that no half-price waffle promotion on a public holiday! But.. almost everyone's not free except for a few of us.. No fun =( Hopefully xh can make it.(cross my fingers X)

Anyone heard of VBA.. I need help! Have learnt so many different programming codes but this is the worst i guess. Imagine, writing codes for a finance mathematical formula.. faint...

Ok that's all.. wish me luck for my projects!

The Launch

Hi everyone! It has taken me quite a while to decide whether or not to start a blog. The main reason why this blog is created is due to the fact that this year 0607 will be my last year of study in NUS. Soon i'll be starting my worklife which means there will be no fun, no play and of course no time to blog. haha...

My 21st year in life has been really fulfilling. I get to know more friends in school and spending more time outside instead of cooping myself at home with my sister and cousin(speaking of my cousin... makes me faint!) =)

To begin with, I post the result of a personality test I did many weeks ago. Some parts are quite true while some have overestimated my traits. Anyway these results are for fun or maybe is to point out some characteristics of mine that are waiting for me to discover.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve
