Pre-Graduation Thoughts Part II - FYP over
By arzhou | November 20, 2008
Just finished my presentation for my Final Year Project, which means there is only 1 last obstacle between me and graduation. My final exam paper is on Saturday 1pm, SC2215, Sociology of Food. Seriously torn between studying or just chilling, after all, I can simply S/U (pass/fail) this module. Then again I hate it when I go for an exam and have not felt sufficiently prepared… ah well gotta study then.
2 more days and I’ll be through!

Pre-Graduation Thoughts
By arzhou | November 18, 2008
Time really does fly…. 4.5 years in NUS is almost coming to a close. In another 3 days, I will be doing my presentation on my final year thesis, and then 2 more days after that its my one and only examination paper. (which I can S/U somemore) In 5 more days… just 5 more days, university life as I known is going to come to an end. Then its off for my graduation trip and to discover what the future holds for me post graduation.
Somehow this feeling is quite surreal, its the ending of a very significant chapter of my life story. The people I met, the things I did while in university definitely had a significant impact on who I am today. No regrets going to NUS, although when I first started university I was pretty upset about not getting a scholarship to go Cornell to study. Then again, if not for that, I would not have gone to NUS Chemical Engineering, would not have gone on the NOC programme, would not have started Energy Carta and did the Asian Youth Energy Summit, would not have met all the people I have met in the past 4.5 years. Not just my fellow chemical engineering classmates and friends, but also friends from the NOC programme, the bloggers I met through ping.sg and other blogger events, friends from gaming (DAOC/WOW/battlestations) and people I met as I stumbled along with life.
Ok enough ranting, time to hunker down and study, last paper, there is no way I am going to let myself screw this up. (Typical chemical engineering mugger trait)

IBrew Challenge 2008
By arzhou | August 26, 2008
The IBrew challenge 2008 was held on 23rd Aug @ East Coast part (near the food center). It was a chance for homebrewers to showcase their work and meet up with fellow homebrewers as well! Being one that just started (about 5 months) I attended to not only try out other beers but talk/network with other brewers as well. And fortunately I got to meet the brewers from Brewerkz (Scott), Archipelago (Fal) and Reddot (Ernest)!
Wonderful event, got to sample quite a wide range of beers, had about 15 cups in the end. Life is good. So if you are keen on home brewing, visit http://www.ibrew.com.sg/
