end is near

yes this is an update of my life.

been quite a while since i have really sit down and post about what's happening here. didn't do so because i was part lazy and part busy. busy as in preparing for the next camp happening this Sunday evening to Thursday night. busy as in planning my timetable for the coming semester. busy as in hanging out and catching up with various groups of friends. busy as in trying to find more tuition assignments and giving tuition.

well, among the busy stuff, i have a good news to share. finally got a hostel spot on campus so that is one worry off my head. no need to wake up super early and make a close to 2-hours journey to and fro NUS daily. can't wait to move in and get ready for the semester.. and nope, i'm not exactly excited about studying just the fact of moving into campus again.. lol.

okay, for the lazy part, let me explain haha. amongst all the outings and stuff i have to attend to outside of home, i rarely catch a breath. rest days are rare.. those where i just huddle at home and in bed without feeling any pressure or need to break away. so yeah when those days come, i really do those and blogging happens not to be my primary task. nonetheless, i still remain a leisure blogger.. writing only when i feel like it without stress.

to sum up, the end of holidays is near.. busy days ahead but i am going to treasure every single day of it left. cheers.

year one in review (NUS)

holidays for university kids are ending. meaning, for my fellow NUS school mates and incoming freshies, the period whereby students will be busy planning timetable is here. in a blink of an eye, my freshman year is over and i am about to start my second year this August. 

a year ago, i remember being a little worried about the bidding and school stuff, especially having not been in the education system for two years thanks to the mandatory NS. through the course of the two bidding periods in my freshman year, i always made a habit to google online reviews by students on the various modules and what not as module description might not always be helpful and insightful compared to students’ point of view.

therefore, i am doing the same thing as well and hope my reviews might help souls googling about NUS modules. in each review, i will be giving the rough description, assessment criteria and difficulty. i will not discuss about how easy or difficult to score a certain grade or what not. also, excuse my language.. i am not a professional writer.

so, here are the modules i have taken in my first year and their respective links to my reviews.. all the best in your studies.

year 1 semester 1: -
CS1010S     GEM2027     MA1101R     MA1102R     ST1131
