De one with 3rd Exam on 3rd November

Sun and drizzle like a toggle switch

Today's 3rd Novemeber. It happens to be my 3rd examination for the semester. ISYS2059 Business Computing Exam..well what can I say?

Agree with Zhen Ze, he was exclaiming that the actual exam differ from the past year sample exams. In terms of format. Especially database.

The paper was... well, I tried my best to answer with which ever knowledge I have. It's mentionable that there were a few of theory questions which I wasn't sure. So much so I used my marketing knowledge to crap out answers.

Spreadsheet section was pretty tough. The questions were pretty open or ambiguous. There were space for self interpretation of the question. This is also so for Database section. We weren't sure which to include, given a company's invoice, payment, order and supplier. *Confused*

Personally, I didn't really expected much because I only started my revision the day before, which was yesterday. Met Sam, who came to the library to find me. We had an enjoyable dinner at some shop-eating place. He had Katong Laksa. Ate with a pair of chopsticks, not knowing that Katong Laksa is ate only with a spoon. After which I took a break and agreed to have a chill out at J8's coffee bean cafe.


Anyway, the female chief invigilator was super annoying with her funny intonation and instructions. She talks in a super irritating and unpleasant manner. Obviously, trying to amplify a "faked" authority or control when she's not. Before and after the exam, she emphasised the instructions as if it's our first time taking an exam. Kao..she's so..unliked.

During the post exam, I'll experience cognitive dissonance. Sigh.. I feel like I could have done better. Just unsatisfied with my peformance during examination, just a few minutes ago.

After exams, as usual, my mind went blank. Everytime Zhen Ze and Guan Hui discuss about the exam questions for the day, I just couldn't recall it as if I've not taken the paper yet. Oops.
We collected our Computing Assignments. After which we proceed to the Holland Village for lunch.

It's my second time to Holland Village. My first was with Mama when I was young. Well, the place changed alot. Partly, I couldn't recall the place. Nevertheless, I liked the place. It made me feel like I'm in some Australian or European village. Most likely due to the layout of the buildings over there. Nice place, lots of cafes and eating houses.

The three of us end up eating Subway. Ooo my favourite. Don't know why I've developed a liking for eating vegetables! Most probably due to the experience from Delifrance's salad lunch!
Hehe.

After which we made out way to Orchard Rd despite the rain when we were still at Holland V. Walked around Tangs since Zhen Ze wanted to look for stuff he could purchase with his voucher. Then to Far East Plaza. Walked around as Guan Hui wanted to see T-shirt. After that, we took a break, sat down as Zhen Ze ate American Cheesy Chicken.

We advanced to Heeren where I browse for swimming trunk. Well, my own NUM swimming trunk is loosening. End up, nothing special. Went to HMV to see a jap band WAT since Guan Hui said there's a Jason lookalike. Went browsing at watch shops too.

Heeren changed abit after renovation. CityChain and Levis changed their location. The bigger Levis wasn't that fantastic. Yet, credit must be given to the fountain (although the surprise was given off in September), which shoot to a height reaching 5 storeys tall.

Our last stop was at Paragon Metro. Before I left to take a long-awaited bus 132 to Thompson to meet Sam for dinner. Arrived at my destination around 07:30 PM. So paiseh about my impunctuality. We had a "first experience" korean crusine at Aunty Kim's. Initially, there weren't any seats in the air-conditioned eating house. Only outside-seats were available. Just when we decided to head towards the Japanese eating place next door, some customers left Aunty Kim's. Lucky.

Sam's usual utilary. We went to have a drink after our meals. haha. After which I headed home. It was a well mix of frowns and enjoyable day. Begun the day with a destressing jog and end it with a destressing time out with friends too.

By the way, 3 down.. one more to go
