The Full Timetable

Timetable of AY 2007/2008 Semester 1



Currently only have Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons free, with some of the Thursday afternoons and a very few Wednesday afternoons free. Well, I wanted to get one of the EE2009 (Signals) tutorial slots on Wednesday, 12.00pm to 1.00pm, but the tutorial slots were oversubscribed, so I was being allocated to one of the EE2009 tutorial slots on Friday, 11.00pm to 12.00pm. Ok, so that means I'm having lunch outside NUS after 2.00pm on Friday.

Among the 3 EE modules that I'm taking, EE2005 (Electronics), EE2006 (Digital Design) and EE2009 (Signals), I feel that EE2009 is one of the most difficult EE modules I'm taking this semester. It's very mathematical, and it's difficult to interprete those signals into Mathematics. A lot of things to digest, and even if I mug hundreds or thousands of times, if you don't know means don't know, unless you are expert in Mathematics, and are able to model those questions into some Maths formula. Some more the exam is open book, so what's the point of mugging? EE2005 is somewhat reasonable, and somewhat difficult, depends on the topic. EE2006 is still reasonable, but heard that the VHDL programming can be difficult...

The Timetable

Lecture Timetable



Currently, the timetable for my first 2 weeks will be as follow. Once I confirmed my tutorials and laboratories timeslots, I'll put up the full timetable. Hopefully, I can also get my Friday afternoon free, then I could used that time to watch movies. :)

Well, the FASS canteen (The Deck) is going to opened very soon. Yup, that's one of my favourite canteen during the 1st semester of my study. Kind of sad that they closed the canteen on the 2nd semester, but well, it's for the better, as they are upgrading the canteen.

Burger King is also opening soon at The Deck. Hopefully the prices are much cheaper in NUS, and hopefully they are offering breakfast as well, and at a cheaper price. I wonder how many times a week Hong Joo is going to eat there... :P


Signals: A core module for Signallers. Topics include: Power And Energy, Fourier Series, Fourier Transform, Analog System, Modulation, Analog Random Signal, Sampling And Digital System, Digital System, Discrete Fourier Transform, Spectrum Estimation, and Fast Fourier Transform.

School Restarting Soon...

Still Haven't Recover...
Yup, already sick for 1 week plus, now feeling better, but still haven't fully recover yet... Haiz... I think gastric flu is a terrible condition to have (nausea, vomit, severe diarrhoea), haven't been eating my favourite food for quite some time already. Hmm... Maybe this is a good way to slim down for those interested. :P

Haiz, AHM is coming very soon on 26 August, and now I can't possibly train for 21km AHM in this state... Look like I'm going to suffer again for the 21km run... Ok, maybe I'll walk more often duding the run to prevent leg cramps again.

Module Bidding
The BRCs said that they wanted to take FNA1002X (Financial Accounting) and GEK1527 (Genes and Society) as their electives. Well, the thing is that I do not have enough points to bid for FNA1002X, unless I waited for round 3A, where all the available slots are combined together for everyone to bid (have to explain here because KV don't even seem to understand what's round 3 about), and usually less bid points are involved in this round, so don't think I'll be taking this module. For GEK1527, I have to say that my Biology is only of secondary 2 standard, and a lot of BRCs at least O Level Biology, some even had taken the full A Level Biology course, but dropped right before A Level examinations. Hmm... This is definitely not a safe module for me to take (unless I opted for S/U option).

EE2005 (Electronics), EE2006 (Digital Design) and EE2009 (Signals) are already preallocated for me (meaning cannot drop those module, unless I requested it in ECE office), so I bidded for CS2102 (Database System), which I'll be clearing it as my Technical Electives (Breadth). Ok, it does seems a bit early to clear a Technical Elective, but since there's a chance to do so now, why not?

Anyway, I have decided on GEK1002 (Introduction to Japanese Studies), and maybe possibly EG2401 (Engineering Professionalism), if there are still available slots for Lecture 2 (of course if there are no slots, then I'll try bidding for FNA1002X in round 3A, and if cannot get FNA1002X, then I'll try to get another available GEMs as a replacement in round 3B).
