Birthday - A Quarter of a Century Old with Psychometric test for DXO position in the mix

It's a memorable birthday - The first birthday that I spent with my SO.

Last year, I booked a solo trip to Cambodia so the idea was moot. I didn't expect us to last long then.

He was super sweet, taking off to accompany me. I had a psychometric test at DTTB (on my birthday!) and he came to fetch me after that.

The test was pretty interesting. It took around 3 hours for me to finish the whole thing. And there were around 20 applicants taking it at the same time. They all applied for different positions.

The first was a verbal reasoning test, which tests on your comprehension of the passage.
The second one was a patterns test, which is something like the P3 GP test.
The third one was a personality test. Only the first two were timed.

We went off to Malaysia after that, to celebrate my birthday. Lunched at Manhatten Fish Market.
Then off to pump fuel and came back to SG.

Went over to Adeline's place to visit her. Then after that, went over to Orchard to look for MJ and Juanna. I have not seen them for a long time!

But of course, special thanks to PL who took the trouble to ride me all over Singapore and to Malaysia :)

Love you :D

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Review: SCCIOB - Diploma in Translation and Interpretation

Wanted to do this earlier but I have been sooo busy. This diploma consists of 6 modules. DTS01 语言学导论 Introduction to Linguistics DTS02 英汉对比语言学 Comparative English and Chinese Linguistics DTS03 英汉双向翻译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Translation Theory and Practice DTS04 基本文体翻译技能训练 Translation Skills for Different Genres DTS05 英汉双向口译的理论与实践 English-Chinese and Chinese-English Interpretation Theory and Practice DTS06 翻译综合能力培训 Integrated Translation Skills DTS 1: This module is the foundation for the rest of the modules, so it's pretty important. I like the male teacher who taught this module, because he's very structured in his way of teaching and it's easier to absorb the materials given. The homework given is not a lot when compared to NUS but I guess it's...

Sh'bam Class by Pao Pao at Westgate Fitness First

Last week, I went to Sh'bam class with Constance instructed by Pao Pao. I really enjoyed myself! Pao Pao gave very good and concise instructions to the extent that I actually managed to catch the moves even though I am a very uncoordinated person! However, take note that Westgate classes are always so full of people that you have to queue up around 40mins ahead of class, which sucks when you have to rush from work. PL kept asking me

Chupitos at Clarke Quay for birthday celebration

It was my first time at Chupitos despite hearing a lot of good things about it. So, on a Friday night at around 8pm, we headed over there to make our friend drunk. The shots were quite quirky and interesting, with all the local names added into the lists. We had a blasted time as the guys were drowning the shots. They ordered paddle pop, milo godzilla, fire bomb, condom and a bunch of other stuff that I don't remember. I only remembered that the bill came up to 200+ for not too many drinks so it was a tad too expensive for my taste. It seems like it is a good place to go to for a hen's night as there was one party going on later in the evening where the female has to drink from a fake penis. Quite a cool concept.
