Random updates:

Paddling: Trying to twist my body more, but still exceedingly slow. Super slow and unable to react to any increases in speed. Already poor stroke totally disintegrates when trying to sprint.

Cycling: Went for Rodalink West like 2nd time this entire semester. Was slacking behind when front group split off and started chasing. Just like canoeing, my cornering leaves me gapped all the time. Cornering technique subpar once again, due to fear of my grabby front brake. Was dropped before the the start of final sprint due to stupidity following an attack when I had no stamina base. Passione has a new team attire, but i'm broke...

OCBC Cycle Singapore: 22nd Feb, but the entry fees for most categories are crazy. Lucky got student price, but still ex. Need to find ocbc credit card. Some cool rules in the rules and regulations: eg. 'event will carry on even in inclement weather', 'participants are advised not to follow the speed limit'. haha.

Engineering Professionalism: Stupid module. No idea how one is graded. Perhaps the more crap the more marks. Cheat sheet is a total waste of my time and effort, it should just be an open book module. This paternalistic enforcement of 'learning' is utterly unethical.

Petro Refining: 0%

Unit Operations in Fine Chem Synthesis: 0%

Cybercrime: 2nd test was an utter disaster, due to failure on my part to guess the lecturer's intention in phrasing his questions as such.

Science of music: Very weirdly, the first test which was considerable harder had 19% full marks, whilst this 2nd test which in my opinion was very easy had only 7.3% full marks.
