An end to the first Semester
Finally, today is the last day of my exam.
Semester 1 is over. Is it fast? Well, it sure as hell was because everything was so hectic so inevitably, I lost track of time. Sometimes, I really wonder if it is time that is moving so quickly or is it that I'm wasting my time away. But then again, I'm really glad this Semester is done. I really learnt a lot from this semester.
I get a first-hand look at my peers, how good they are. I get to see how the tutors actually teach in the University. To be honest, they are better than I expected. My vision of tutors in the University is that they will run through theories randomly without any order and expect you to take notes on the spot.
However, clearly I was wrong, there is indeed order and in fact, it is pretty systematic and they do take the additional effort to teach slowly to make sure we actually understand.
I guess I did well for my first Semester, well not that results are out already, its just that I feel that I really could grasp the concepts and the feeling is really good when you actually know that you understood something. Its not just my hard work that led to me performing well for my first Semester.
Another key factor is the guidance from the tutors. Honestly, I'm really quite guilty for talking back to my tutors sometimes, insisting that I'm right. On hindsight, its really a bit childish and immature. They are afterall professors and humans, so naturally they do make mistakes and all they were trying to do were merely to guide us and teach us in the best possible way.
Now, after the first Semester, I could fully appreciate their efforts and I hope to redeem myself by being a good student during my Semester 2 because Year 1 comes to an end. Before I know it, Semester 2 will be over.
Hence, for now, I will just enjoy my 1 month break before the entire cycle repeats itself. And this time round, I vow to be stronger, more intelligent and of course, more humble.

One of the best Killer Apps Word Lens
Presenting to you guys one of the best killer apps in the world.
This is something even Babelfish is not capable of.
Having trouble translating?
This solves your problem
This is something even Babelfish is not capable of.
Having trouble translating?
This solves your problem
Word Lens, a new iPhone app, is capable of translating words inside of images.
Traveling in a foreign country and having trouble reading what the menu or road sign says? Word Lens, an augmented reality translation app, will come to your rescue.
Simply fire up the app and as you point the iPhone camera at the text you want to translate, Word Lens magically translates the words in a blink of an eye. Everything remains the same except for the words inside the image, and the translation is done remotely — no Internet or phone connection is required.
How this app works is that it uses Optical Character Recognition technology to scan for characters through the iPhone camera, translates them in real time, and replaces foreign words with English counterparts (and vice-versa).
It took Quest Visual founders Otavio Good and John DeWeese two-and-a-half years to develop this mind-blowing translating technology.
The app currently supports only Spanish to English translation, or vice versa, for now. But more languages and even an app for the blind are being added on.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we did French next, Italian and since my mom is Brazilian, Portuguese,” Good claimed.
Although Word Lens is free on the App Store, you will find that only turning printed text backwards and erasing them from your screen work. To unleash its full potential, you have to make an in-app purchase of US$4.99 for each language available.
