The module call SDT aka "Sure Die Test" was my second last paper yesterday. Don't get me wrong. The name I gave came into my mind randomly. In full, the module is known as "System Development Techniques." I always thought the module name was better known as "System Development Technologies." But the realization came to me when I was told to write the module name on my exam script and I was thinking which is correct and I couldn't flipped the paper over to check. It was even more embarrassing to ask the examiner for the module name as I am the one taking the paper. In short, I wasted 5 seconds of the examination time writing the last word of the module name. And you wasted a minute of your time reading this portion. I hope my sharing did provide some form of entertainment to you. =]

In any case, the paper was manageable and I think I'll be able to do well for it. That is the happy part. On the other side, tomorrow will be my last paper known as VDG2 aka "Very Dangerous Game 2". Don't get me wrong again. This time I am speaking for real. The module know as "Visual Design for the Web 2" is indeed a very tricky paper. In fact most of us who are studying for this paper are LOST.

The module teaches you how to develop animation clips using the software , Flash 8. This software is commonly used in most online interactive games. Looking through past year papers and the examination format, we are astounded by the kind of questions they ask. Look at this and tell me how should I answer it "List down step by step to create an animation of the car moving from left to right and making a turn at the end. (9 marks)" Who in the right state of mind will memorize all the functions, keys, sequence of the format of creating an animation? This is the same as asking someone to memorize the functions of Microsoft products and articulate them in written words with chronological order. The best part is there are billions of steps given in the book and we are expect to know it all. Praise the Lord. How should I study for this paper?

Sigh... My last paper is indeed a "Very Dangerous Game" level 2. FYI, it has the number 2 at the back as it is a follow up module from the previous semester. And the previous semester was so much easier. May the heroes of this game survive through this last order and emerge victorious tomorrow. Level 2 isn't suppose to be this hard you know.

All the best for tomorrow's last paper and expect the unexpected. Time for me to get my armory and ration ready. In another words to study la. LOL. Smile always =].
