Man, Weekend Burnt Again :(

Ok, dear readers, today's blog post is gonna be a lengthy one, do bear with me please?

They always say the last two days of the week and the first day of the weekend are the days most looked forward to by students and workers alike. Which days are these? They are: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

This is where it all starts, absolute Mayhem!

Thursday: Maths lecture was a blast, literally. The lecturer spoke so quickly, I didn't have time to write down all the revision questions and even had to ask my classmates for some verifications again and again. When the end of the lecture came, the lecturer announced that he would e-mail everything he had gone through during the revision lecturer. I began to curse and swear...

Then came Friday.... I SKIPPED SCHOOL :) LOL! But... haha, in the end the whole day was used for me and my project group to rush through our Java project. Hell, Eclipse gave in on me at the end of the day and everything my group did so far was... GONE! But, luckily, I found an old copy of our project in my D:\ drive and had to redo everything I did from midway and I was so glad I had sent some of the Classes to my project groupmember... whew.

Anyway came Saturday, I spent a freaking 12 hrs in front of my laptop to compile and debug everything, LOL. 12 Hours! Let's see, I started from 11am-1pm ++, logged into MapleSEA to check my FM shop sales (I earned 7 million mesos but spent 3million of it on rubbish stuff), then continued again till 6pm. I stopped for a dinner break and then continued the Java marathorn till 8:30pm and joined my MapleSEA guild for 1 GPQ(YES, 1 only *sighs*) before continuing my project again all the way until 1am!

Lets calculate the total hours spent on that Java project alone:

11am - 1pm: 2 hrs
1:45pm - 6pm: 4 hrs and 15 min
6:30pm - 8:30pm: 2 hours
9:30pm - 1am: 2 and a half hours
Total: 10 hours and 45 minutes + all the time wasted during Hari Raya, Christmas and Chinese New Year on the freaking bleddy project = More than 12 hours !!!

Man, I didn't even have time to study for my open book Life Science test this coming Monday! LOL!

Then comes Sunday, yes, I have to burn Sunday too to study for the Life Science test tomorrow.

My Take On NYP's Open House As A NYPian

Tomorrow's going to be great! School will only last for 2 hours from 9-11am then I'm free for the rest of the day! Cool!

Tuesday's good too, there's no DCN lessons which means lessons will be from 10-12pm and then 3-4pm meaning that there will be a 3 hour break in between.

Wednesday's the first day of a 3 day holiday (excluding Saturday and Sunday) for the week. Lol!

I simply love NYP's Open House. Period.

The link above tells you how to setup your Notebook to tap into the high speed wireless network.

Note: Don't bother trying if your not a student from NYP ;)
