Final Examination Mark

I got the final examination marks this morning. I am happy and satisfy to what I got. Although it is not the best but that is what I had did my best for my examination.

Congratulation to all students who have achieved their target.
Good luck and work hard for students who have to sit the supplementary exam in end of August. Do not give up.

I have a new mission now: my summer project. If I want to graduate with distinction I have to work extremely hard to achieve it. I will work hard to try to get the highest mark for my project although I have set to graduate with merit before I started my MSc degree here.

I have just finished my proposal. Now, I have to move on to do some more research on the technique is going to use in my project.

My project title is Mining Software Repositories to Evaluate Architecture.

英国 - 奥尔顿塔[Alton Towers] 一日游是我的大学-电脑学会[Computer Society]举办的。从我的大学到奥尔顿塔大约需要一小时30分钟。
The day trip to Alton Towers yesterday was organized by Computer Society from my department. It took about 1 hour and 30min to reach there from my university.

到达目的地时，奥尔顿塔令我想起云顶高原[GentingHighland，Malaysia]和双威水上乐园 [Sunway Lagoon - Malaysia]。奥尔顿塔是英国最大的主题乐园，无论 小孩，情侣，成年人 或一家大小都得来这一逛。你可以在那听见很多尖叫，快乐及疯狂的声音。昨天，可说是人山人海，我猜大概是很多大学都刚考完试 而且又是学校，学院或大学的暑假。
Alton Towers is really an awesome and fantastic. It reminds me of Genting Highland and Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia. It is the largest theme park in UK. Kids, couple, adult or family will come here to enjoy. It was crowded yesterday, I guess because of summer holiday now or college and university students just finished their exam.

因为人山人海，所以所有的游戏都需要排一段时间。平均一个小时吧，但是游戏就维持1-2分钟。这也没办法谁叫来的时间不恰当。我的天啊。
Most of the games have a long long queue. We had waited approximately 1 hour for all the games before our turn. But, the game is just about 1-2 minutes only. As a conclusion, we spent more time for the queue rather than play the game. Oh My God, that is game.

那么多游戏里，我最喜欢Air， 有一种飞的感觉，把你双手张开，睁开双眼，别望你左右的美女帅哥。
Among the games, I like the Air Game most. CHEERS.... You can enjoy the flying, open your eyes. Do not look at beautiful girl and handsome guy sit next to ou

A day before yesterday, I had my dinner time with some of my coursemates.
Venue: Dragon BBQ again....

It was great. I was really enjoyed it.
We made it a day before the viewing exam scripts.

I ate lesser than the first time, no idea why could this happened.
I will upload a picture to share with you.

Enjoy!!!

Examination Scripts

Yesterday was viewing examination scripts.
I was so worry a day before. Slept late a night althought I went to bed earlier than usual.

I woke up about 10.3o in the morning, then I got a message from my friend, Jay. He sent me a link and told me that the exam result had been released.

Oh my God, I was so nervous suddenly got this message and I did not prepare at all.
Finally, I logged in and scroll down slowly... that was my result.

Not too bad and not that good. Just at the middle. No regret and satisfied. Because I had did my best for the exam.

CHEERS ..

But the result that I viewed was the provisional marks. I have to wait until the final examination result to be announced.

Hope that there will be a up-scale on the examination marks.
Pray to GOD...

Ripon and Fountain Abbey

Our school has organized a trip to Ripon and Fountain Abbey yesterday.
Ripon and Fountain Abbey are located in North Yorkshire, England.

Ripon is a small town where we have to take approximately 3 hours to reach there.
Fountain Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery, founded in 1132 [wikipedia].

I took my lunch with my coursemates at Dragon Inn, it is a chinese restaurant. we took our lunch very fast because it was not enough time to visit interested places if we ate slowly.

We went to the market place because it is just opposite the chinese restaurant. Next we went to the Ripon Cathedral and Prison and Police Museum. We did not go into it, just took some picture from the outside.

We departed to Fountain Abbey about 2pm. It takes 15-20 minutes to reach there from Ripon town. That place is really nice, the area is surrounded by trees and soft grass land. There is a St Mary's Chruch. All the church in UK look similar but their design are awesome and beautiful where I cannot find it in my Malaysia.

The trip was ended at 6pm. Felt very tired.
It way nice and enjoy.

Exam was ended

My exam is started on 13 May and ended on 3 June. That was a long examination period and I would have enough time to prepare for my exam. I'm so lucky because my exam time table was arranged very well,although I have two papers on the same day.

Started preparing my revision 2 weeks before the summer term.
