The weather on 22nd November 2008 was extremely good. It was so hot that the sun woke me up early in the morning at around 8+am. Although it did rain for a while in the afternoon, I still felt as if I was sitting in an oven-like examination hall. Did not know what happen to the air-con.

Anyway, I had completed my first paper: Digital Design on last Saturday. Again I still felt that 2 hours was not enough to complete that design paper, even though I did manage to finish, well is not finish, but at least I did wrote something for every questions, knowing that no matter what I mustn't leave blank for any of them (with mistakes here and there). Because if I wrote something, it means that I still got some hopes (of getting some marks). Nevertheless, I have a feeling that I might be able to get rid of this module by this semester which I really hope so, because it is very important to pass this module, since together with another 2 modules (Introductory to Mathematics and Fundamentals of Physics), they are pre-requisites for the next three modules that I am supposed to take for the next semester (according to the schedule).

Well, 1 down, 3 more to go...

The next paper: Introductory to Mathematics will be on tomorrow afternoon, the third paper: Electronics will be on friday morning and the last paper: Fundamentals of Physics will be again on saturday afternoon.

Currently, I am more worried for the last two papers. Electronics is the most heavy-weighed paper (80%) and I am worrying that am I able to design the op-amp based on the specification given, or is my analysis for the circuit correct, or have I short/open circuit the right components for the right analysis, or do I know how to plot the bode plot?

However, I am more worry for the last paper: Fundamentals of Physics. Physics questions are inhumane. I have never like physics since secondary school. Because not only it involves alot of calculation, it requires visualization/imagination, whereas for chemistry and biology, they are more human-related stuff. Also, it is not always appropriate to use common sense to answer the question, which for many occasions that I used common sense and in the end, the answer turned out to be otherwise. What make it even worst is, it is a closed-book exam, hence it seems to have tonnes of things to be remember such as all the formulae, all the constant values (e.g. Boltzman's constant) etc. I still remembered what I did for every physics paper that I had taken in 2003-2004, I just anyhow dumped in the formulae and wrote rubbish for both the qualitative and quatitative questions, hoping that I can at least strike the consolation prize.hahaha...that is why I had always felt that I am super lucky for my 'O' level physics, scoring a B4 surprisingly. So I am hoping that Lady Luck will be by my side on this Saturday for that 2 hours!!! (I die die must pass this paper, knowing that tehre is no way that I could rely on the 2 quizzes and laboratory grade to get a pass.)

angela is looking forward to 25th December 2008...
