Okay, so I've just finished the registration process for my upcoming UOL May exams.
This post will just be a note to myself for future reference.
First, there was the Exam Entry on the UOL portal after which the Exam Entry Form (EEF) can be printed.
Once the EEF is obtained, then the exam registration for the London side is completed and there's only the registration for the local exam centre, RELC. Payment is via the AXS machine and the completed EEF is to be sent via the RELC portal. Once the confirmation email is received from RELC, the whole examination registration process is then complete.

Countdown 2017!
Just a quick post here.
Am just back from my first ever countdown with friends(I'm quite certain this is my first countdown not spent with my family) which was spent outdoors and not in front of a TV screen at home. It's past 4am already as I'm typing this so I'll make this a quick one. Really ought to be getting some close eyes haha!
Met the usual group, JL, W and L for a quick dinner at Just Acia@Dhoby Ghaut before heading to get drinks and then taking an MRT to Bayfront. We were really just intending to watch the fireworks but not to join the crazy crowds of hardcore party goers at the more happening venues. So yea, what better place than the awesome vantage point atop Marina Barrage?
By the time we arrived at our destination, it was already crowded. While we waited for midnight to crawl by, we ate some food we had prepared and had a few games of cards. It wasn't long before the new year neared. Expecting to hear the yearly chorus of 10..9...8..., I was rather surprised by the silence which engulfed the area. Missing was the "countdown", likely due to how isolated we were perched atop the Marina Barrage, but more puzzling was the lack of cheerful chatter and well wishes among those around us. I didn't hear people wishing each other a good year ahead or awesome 2017 or what not. Instead, silence.
When the fireworks appeared, too far in the distance to look nice in photographs or to even be heard, I was suddenly aware of the reason for the lack of sounds and voices. Everyone around me had their cameras or phones held up, videoing the fireworks I presume. As such, every individual was as still as a statue, not daring to make a sound nor move for fear of damaging their recording. Oh wells, so much for getting out to soak up the new year's eve atmosphere. A rather interesting first countdown "party" nonetheless.

Starting school again
Yup, I'm starting school tomorrow and that means my holidays have finally come to an end! It's been a really long 3-4 months of hanging around at home mostly and not having to worry about school stuff. I'm now just excited to go back to the routine of waking up early in the mornings and getting myself all occupied with lectures and revision.
My lectures slots for this year's classes are mostly in the afternoon with only one class being in the morning. Still, I should make it a habit to wake up early and go to bed early as well (I'll try). The class selection was done during the SSCE a couple of weeks ago. I'm only doing three modules this year so the workload is definitely much lighter. I'll still be having four days of classes though, three days of lectures and one day of tutorial. Ya, why not have two lectures in a day so that I do not have to go to school everyday? Although I only had three modules, it was still rather hectic during the selection as classes were being filled up really fast. I even ended up with a Saturday lecture and had to camp at the site waiting to see if I could change that class. Thankfully, I managed to. I was also coordinating some classes with a friend which was why I didn't want to mess up my schedule again once everything had been fixed. That was how I ended up with four days of classes.
For now, I'm really looking forward to finding who my new lecturers are (or if I'd be getting any previous lecturers again which would be the best case scenario as they were the better lecturers)
After classes start, there's still the payment of course fees(locally) and the selection of modules and payment to the London side. And finally, receiving my new subject guides of course.

Plickers!
Heys, have you guys heard of Plickers, or used it before?? It is really cool! My lecturer used it for class today to go through some MCQs and here's what happened. We were each issued a unique QR code on an A4 sized paper. The QR code was in the shape of a square so each side of the square was represented by a letter (ie. options A,B,C,D). We thus had to show our answers by holding the QR code upright with our chosen option at the top and the lecturer would use an iPad to scan the QR codes in the room and our answers would appear on the screen. It even reflects the right and wrong answers!
This sure made the lecture so much more fun and interesting. I could tell it wasn't only us students who were having fun haha! Unfortunately, we only go through MCQs once every 5 classes so the next such session would be 5 weeks away. Really looking forward to it!

New class, new lecturer
I just had my first Stats 2(ST104b) lecture for the year today and I sure am glad to have gotten a new lecturer. I sure do hope this lecturer is able to help me understand Statistics better so that I would not be too confused with it yet again. Indeed, just from today's lecture I had already gained some insights to the first topic.
I am really excited to begin Stats classes finally which will really test how much more I understand with all the revision I did since last year. New year, new lecturer. ST104b will be much better this year!

Timetable is finally complete!
I took a look at my timetable for classes for this week earlier this morning and saw that I had something extra on Wednesday morning. It was my final mod, Stats 2! Then it struck me that today was the last day of Nov and we were entering Dec tomorrow. Yupp, my Stats 2 classes were supposed to begin when December starts. Haha, so my timetable is now finally completed! I'll need to plan my time better to keep up!
