I've now entered second year of Diploma (Level 1). Really miss my holidays and still wished it was holidays. For this first semester, I have 4 modules and there are over 90 students in a class. I never like big classes because firstly it’s hard to concentrate with so many students and not all of them will be listening to the lecture, secondly the lecturers might lecture too fast and he or she can't slow down because of one student. True? But on the other hand, no one will notice if you were missing from lecture or sleeping in class with such a big crowd. LOL.

I still miss my old intake and classmates. We were so close and happening. There’s this guy from our group of friends that always make us laugh, crack silly jokes and annoyed the lecturers. I miss the old days. He has now decided to further his studies in an art school. Guess IT wasn't his cup of tea.

Anyway, although there are 4 modules semester, there will be 5 lecturers. 2 lecturers for Computer System Architecture, one teaches Assembly language and the other teaches the theory. The only subject I find most boring is the Internet Application. Not to say the lecture is bad or the subjects doesn't interest me, but the fact that the lecture doesn't know how to control the crowds and he tend to beat around the bush before getting to the point. Probably due to the fact that this subject is short and he does that to lengthen the lecture time, else might end up dismissing the class early. While for Java Programming, the first few topics are pretty similar to C but at the same time we will learn about Java Application which involved Objects and Platform. Why IT got to sound so technical? Assembly language is another killer subject where by we got to write a long instruction in order to display a simple word or instruction. Not to forget Numerical Methods & Logic is a tough subject according to my seniors. I heard that not many people scores well in this subject, to an extent that only 5% of the class passed the in-course test. That is so so so scary. Man, I can't effort to fail any subjects and I’m aiming for credit and above.

This time, there's 5 days of lectures instead of 4. :(

Work hard, Celine. Work hard.
