Exam is over!

Eventually ^^ Sem 5 is over! Exam paper.. c ya next year.. fufufu.. A very short summary of exam.. heem.. can say that all are so-so.. never can do all… but nothing to lose, since the exam preparation time is very short (yet I kept complaining why I always be the last to finish exam) so.. ya.. the one I regret most is my Net Centric Computing exam.. I studied hard for computation part.. and study too detail for the theory i.e: learn all the algorithms steps.. but then it came out with the very basic questions: mentions the layer functionality of TCP/IP and OSI.. 10 marks. Yet I can’t do.. the other parts are also a mess.. programming part, I misinterpret the algorithm.. thinking that he was tricking us.. hix.. eventually I’m the only one come out with cloudy face.. while the rest shining so bright. Oh ya, no computational questions are asked. At all. Sad sad.. T_T

Ok, that’s all about exam :P.. haha.. special thanks to Nescape 3 in 1 which has been accompanying me through out the semester XD, providing me with good concentration and good sleep.. but addictive T__T.. I still remember on soft eng II exam I didn’t drink coffee.. in the middle of exam, I suddenly felt dizzy.. and back to home, can’t study at all.. eventually slept until 4 before go up, drank coffee, and felt charged! Sigh.. sigh.. not a good sign, really. (well, afterall, don’t know it’s due to coffee or lack of sleep the night before. Haha..)

So now, AI exam is just over. Artificial Intelligent.. hem. The course title sound cool rite.. Btw, there, I found another respectable lecturer: Assoc. Prof. Michel Pasquier. He really knows his stuff. Another lecturer I respect is Assoc. Prof. Kuiyu.. which I had mentioned last semester. Haha.. Cheerz for both of you! Both has different characteristic. Kuiyi is famous for his anti-microsoft and real programmer.. while Pasquier is for his logic and his commitment to AI. Truly amazing. His answer on discussion board (which has more than hundred questions) is always satisfying. However, still, 1 semester is enough. Hope didn’t need to see him again next semester.. haha.. (I’m not kidding.. this is a killer subject T__T)

What is my plan now? Format my dearest compie. My Kaspersky anti virus isn’t working now.. and there are so many programs that I will never use again in daily life.. (thanks to computer science course..) And since I am in geje mode, let’s list out what software I have now:

Ok.. enough of the list. 70% of them won’t be installed back to my computer. Hahaha.. One question: what is the software that almost every other computer have, but not found in mine? Highlight here for answer: winamp & yahoo messenger..

(seems like my geje mood hasn’t gone at all.. ^^;)

Oh.. one more thing.. yesterday I got an email… a link to e-magazine. (er, ok, gals magazine afterall ^^;) I like the idea.. the title is Cinderella. It’s a maganize, with all the things like paper magazine, yet clickable, moveable, soundable.. and the design is.. cool from my point of view. Somemore they don’t need to print it out.. so reduce the production cost.. and they can get money from advertisement.. hem.. I really think it’s a brilliant idea. Let’s help them to promote. Haha.. anybody interested, can download their first volume and second volume (yes, they just started) here.

Ok, going to format computer now ^^

Happy Holiday all~~~
