A certificate from the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) and my prize

I won one of these for the online quiz I mentioned in my previous post. It's an iPod shuffle, another Apple product. Yeay! For more info on iPod shuffle, see www.apple.com.

My third semester is finally over. Received some good feedback from lecturers on my research report presentation. The exam results will be released some time next month.

I have been busy spending time with some university mates since my semester ended earlier this month. Played host and tour guide to some international students as well. It was great fun!

Will be flying to an exotic destination soon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you next month!

April

Hi peeps, apologies for the long silence. I've been very busy with my studies. It's the last couple of weeks of the semester. Assignments, exams, research seminar, and the likes. I'm in the midst of my exam weeks, and will be presenting my research findings next week in front of my peers and lecturers. I'll have to make corrections, if any, after receiving some feedback. This has been one crazy semester, I kid you not. Wish me luck!

I've received two good news this week. Firstly, I obtained the highest mark for one subject so far. I hope to do well in the exam too. Secondly, I won a prize for an online quiz, which I took part last month. It was an online English Language quiz organised by a local university, and opened to all public university students in the nation. I didn't expect to win as I did the quiz for fun, so I was quite chuffed. I was told that I'd be getting a certificate of participation and my prize next week. What did I win? Stay tuned to find out.

I'm also planning for a holiday trip to a region I've never been to. Let's hope all goes well. I certainly look forward to travelling abroad again, and hope to capture many exotic photos soon.

A drama based on a true story about a college professor's bond with an abandoned dog he takes into his home. Even after Professor Wilson's death, Hachi continues to wait for his master at the train station everyday for ten years until the day he dies.

Heartrending. Be prepared to weep buckets.
