Whether you are hard labour, soft labour, free labour, not-free labour, cheap labour, expensive labour, paid labour, unpaid labour, skilled labour, unskilled labour, adult labour, child labour (or even if you sit at home whole day do nothing)Happy Labour Day!(isn’t labour a term in giving birth?)

[department of crappy engineering] exam is over

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Had my last paper today, which means it’s holiday for me.I feel so… dead. No excitement, just relief. This semester has been very tiring for me…Not much of a holiday, as next Monday I am starting my 12 weeks of internship….For those who still have papers left, all the best!!

[department of crappy engineering] cowboy’s father mother

[department of crappy engineering] talking about the paper

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I don’t understand, why do people like to talk about the paper after the paper? Does it bring them an orgasm or something?It’s like the paper is over already, what can you do? Stop the blue NUS van and tell the invigilators you need to change the answer? What amazes me is people can remember every single answer they wrote, it’s as though they press Ctrl + C everytime before starting on a new page in their answer booklet. (those people don’t need helpsheet for sure) Then they can happily talk about which question what’s the correct answer and blah blah blah. Hello, if you are so sure that’s the answer, then why bother submitting your answer booklet and letting the examiner mark? Then they will go on and count how many marks they lost and stuff.. again why didn’t you just write the marks on the coverpage of your answer booklet? Save the examiner’s trouble.If you have more papers remaining, why let the previous paper affect you and others? Oh yah, psychological warfare, make your opponents feel depressed.I don’t even think of the paper the moment the invigilator says stop writing.

[department of crappy engineering] catch no crap

My brother told me that while I was having fun in the exam hall this afternoon, a lady from MCYS (Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports) came to my house wanting to do an interview with me.She could have fixed an appointment with me beforehand.(now what have I done?!)

[department of crappy engineering] mohr’s circle

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Yesterday during ME2114 Mechanics of Materials II paper, I was plotting the mohr’s circle, then this guy who was on his way to the toilet just had to squeeze his butt through the narrow gap in front of my desk.What the, why couldn’t he just go to the front (ie, in front of the invilgilator’s table) where his butt could very easily pass through? Want to pee also must disturb other candidates…If not, string is provided for him to tie his (fill in the blank) up.

If they included a list of useful (and useless) formulas in last year’s exam paper,don’t expect them to do likewise this year.
