Have you ever noticed - the chairs in some lecture rooms are so uncomfortable to lean back on?
For example, the chairs in LT8. Try leaning back, and you find that your bottom goes forward and you lean back too much. And the chairs are actually designed to be like that.
The best comfortable one I've been to in SOC is LT27. Congratulations LT27! You win the Most Comfortable Lecture Theatre in SoC award.

The worse one, LT33 / LT34. Booooo. Even the ones in Business and Arts faculty have this issue. I wonder why... Maybe it is just me :-/

I think LT25 lecture design is the best. You can place your notes on the table, the chair is comfy as well. and yes, you don't have to lean down to see your notes.
Congrats~! You must have graduated.
I entered NUS Computing at the same time as you. Now left one more year.
If would be nice if you have juniors to pass the baton (of this blog) to. It's funny and informative (kinda since most in jest). Also a kind of alternative voice thingy. Too bad I don't know much people, much less a single computing junior. Otherwise can suggest to them to start a similar blog or ask if you'll let them be co-author this blog or not.
Good lone effort you have. I waste so much time that I could have contributed with many comments or even ideas for posts but I just keep adding bookmarks of webpages to read (at an indefinite time), and am not as disciplined as years ago liao.
In real/physical life there's the computing club, and I can see that each committee puts in effort, but it's hard to reach out to enough SoC students as everyone else's either can't be bothered or busy studying. So I feel that SoC should have some kind of online community, like a forum. It would be better if it is not under the auspices of the computing club, as they tend to do a total "reformat" of the forum each time, resulting in a lack of archive and continuity. The absence of archive and continuity means that graduated students do not stay on to help, people's interest is not sustained, and not enough information or "happeningness" to make people stay. Then again, online forums can be a total waste of time as well.
Of course the IVLE forums of modules with forum participation is another thing. Can see a lot of people posting on it. I usually can't be bothered even though the game theoretic solution is to be thick-skinned and do what it takes to get better grades.
Anyway I'm in the midst of my exams now and finally have 6 days break to study for 2 papers, so I'm relaxing by clearing my backlog of bookmarks. A bit dissapointed to find that this blog have effectively ended with your graduation. Then again, all good things must come to an end. We must move on.
Good luck!

Heck no! I am still in NUS. Just been a bit too busy. Thanks for your encouraging comments! More posts coming soon ;)
No more updates? Haha, I'll be a computing student in Aug this year. This is a good resourceful blog for me. With regards to buying laptop, I read you are recommending that we buy laptop from outside. I viewed the sch laptops; they have the Thinkpad T400. Would you recommend that or as what you said, get a dell laptop. If so which one?
