An entry with two parts

Hmmm, I actually want to write about two things today. Actually the other thing was supposed to be written yesterday. Anyway, I shall break today's entry into two parts.

Part I: My day

The day started rather late as usual. I just cannot make myself wake up early, no matter how hard I try. I guess it's partially due to the fact that I don't really have something to do. Actually I do, but since those things are not urgent, there's no pressing need for me to wake up early. Well, ate a late lunch, stoned in front of my computer monitor for a while, showered and left my place.

I waited at the bus-stop for a while before realising that I could have waited at the wrong location. I called my friend, who confirmed my mistake. I was supposed to meet him at the MRT station, not the bus-stop. Ah well, me and my lousy memory. I kept having the impression that I was going to Orchard when we had agreed to go down to Bugis.

Anyway, the MRT station's just beside the bus-stop, so it's only a matter of walking a short distance. It's been quite a while since I last went shopping... and since it's going to be the end of the Great Singapore Sale soon, I might as well get some clothes to prepare for the start of the semester.

Ah, I bought three items... one jeans, one bermuda and one polo T-shirt. Ehz, spent more than SGD100 loh. The jeans was the most expensive pair I've got so far. I normally get Giordano ones... Well, since I seldom buy jeans de, so I didn't really mind paying more for a suitable pair. I think the Samuel & Kevin bermudas was a good buy... I've been searching for a suitable pair of bermudas for quite some time already... and getting a suitable one at 40% discount is well, highly fortunate I would say :P

The breakdown of the prices are as follows:
Lawman jeans: ~SGD70 (jeans + alteration, original price: SGD79.90)
Samuel & Kevin bermudas: SGD21 (original price: SGD35)
F-Men polo T-shirt: ~SGD16 (original price: SGD23)

My friend and I walked over to City Hall to have a look at the fireworks. It's the final rehearsal for NDP2005. We managed to catch the mobile column as well as the floats. The fireworks lasted for quite some time despite it being only a rehearsal. There were some really pretty ones. Ah, too bad I hadn't brought my camera along. In fact, I didn't bring any bag along when I left my place. Heh

Hmmm, walked back to Bugis to collect my altered jeans, stopping at the new National Library building to take a look. Hmmm, the library takes level B1 and level 7 onwards. The rest is taken up by the Drama Center I think. Ehz, quite ok ba... very spacious. The toilet walls are a bit ermz, not so nice though. They used those small, mosaic tiles... a bit off, compared to the general design of the building and the other walls. Dinner was at McDonalds. Yep, that's about it for the evening... tiring siah, walk and walk and walk. It's a fruitful trip though, managed to get a pair of jeans and a pair of bermudas.

Part II: My final year in NUS

Ok, the next semester will apparently be rather relaxing, with only two three-hour lectures so far, on Monday and Friday mornings. Not sure if there are tutorials and labs. I haven't done my research. Will do it before bidding starts on Monday. I'm considering taking up a GEM module as an extra module, just to make use of my bidding points and maybe try to use it to improve my CAP score.

I was chatting with my friend on MSN two nights ago, when he made me realise that I actually don't have to take any modules, other than my HYP module, during my final semester in NUS. I had actually planned to take a 4000 level Computer Science (CS) module... but since it is an Unrestricted Elective (UE) and I've already cleared an extra module (German 4) as UE, I can actually don't take the 4000 level CS module, since I've already fulfilled the criteria.

I might consider taking some other extra modules during the final semester, or not take any at all, once I have confirmed that I've fulfilled the criteria for graduation. If I'm not taking any modules... I don't even have to go to school, except when I have to meet my HYP supervisor. Ha, cannot imagine leh. Anyway, I'll decide after the first semester... have to see my CAP score :/ I doubt I'll be able to get a 3rd class honours... Haiz.
