School

So far... school has been great. No tutorial lessons yet. They start from next week onwards. Maths is scary when you have to recap whatever you learned in sec sch in about 2 lectures (that's 4 hours). Also, programming will kick in too. Will have to recap what I've learned during poly as well. Their lectures is based on the assumption that you are already good in the pre-requisites. So they won't teach what you've forgotten. Will have to make the effort to read up on your own.

Though quite sucky, but it is really a very efficient way of learning. Haiz... 1st sem only. Grr... Hopefully, when memory kicks in, everything will be smooth going.

Btw, looking for this song.. if anyone hav.. pls tell me. =) It's from the movie '881'. (No, I've not watched it.) But from what I've been reading, seems like not a bad show.
