Exam Day 3

State: Ok

The last paper was alright. My first paper of the three that I have ample time on hands to flip here and there to see what I can add in as and when.

Anyways. I have completed my exams of this semester. Its gonna be chosing modules of next semester for next week. Its really fast.

I hope there will be some nice modules which I will get to choose as my core for my next final semester. For now, its gonna be FYP-ing all the way before Hokkaido takes place. After Hokkaido.. its still FYP-ing before Christmas takes place. After that, its gonna be the final blast of FYP-ing before I budget my way to rock Ho Chi Minh City.

I'm at war with the cats.
I HATE CATS!!! Its not the first time I hear them fighting outside my shell. And yesterday's afternoon it was that way too. But they did something this time that made me almost hit the ceiling.

I left the shell to get dinner last night and guess what. I saw my red esprit slippers were like messed up. One further away than the other. That was still ok. After slipping on them, I was shocked. One of the slipper got badly scratched with holes! Its not just one big scratch. Its millions of holes.. I can imagine the cat's claws dug into it when I wore that slipper. Utterly disgusted. ARGH!!! Why ruin my slippers??!?! Not being brand conscious, but it was bought by the Empress! She actually bought esprit slippers. I wished she had put the money into better use. But thats besides the point. Now the slipper being so badly ruined.. with millions of holes dug in.. By stepping on it already gives me the creep from the stupid cat!

ARRRRRRGGGGGH!!!

I know its a fruitless war. I have no claws.

News from ChannelNewsAsia.

BEIJING : Twenty-nine Singapore students are in the Chinese capital Beijing for a study tour organised by Channel NewsAsia.

They visited historical sites like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City where they learnt more about the Chinese culture.

This year's tour is the second to Beijing held by the broadcaster.

For their holiday "reporting assignment", the students from East Spring, Hai Sing Catholic and Tanjong Katong Girls schools checked out the local arts scene with a visit to one of Beijing's latest artists' haunts - 798 - an art district that used to house electronics factories.

The education tour takes a different turn this year by taking the students through China with a different perspective - Chinese contemporary art.

At the Ullens Centre For Contemporary Art, students learnt about China's artist movement of the 1980s and found their own angles for news reports.

The students learnt several basic rules of the craft, and pulled through like professionals.

"I managed to finish a PTC (piece to camera)," said one student.

"It's so tough to remember my lines," said another.

But they all took home exclusive reports that they will remember for a long time to come. - CNA /ls

I've been to 798 street too... Hahaha.. brought there by an arty mama. As a result, walkergal took lots of narcissistic photos there. It was really a great display of arts there. Well. It was my first time knowing such place and going for it. Truely it was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. I get to see the different themes... styles.. all in the name of ART. Its definitely an eye-opener for those who have never been exposed to such a display of Arts.

So Beijing, anyone?
