Yeah..that's it, upset and overthrown by the deadlines which I just received in the short duration of two days since the week had started. Still in a state of shock, luckily I'm checking the IVLE everyday, if not it will come as a greater shock if I missed out on all the announcements.

Just got this from my email:

This is really quite terrible.. And when I was looking up for the above defination, happened to find out that the online oxford dictionary that I've been using can no longer be used without paying a subscription fee. So went to webster.com instead, and found out in suprise that they even provide the actual pronounciation of very word that's searched! Well, quite useful after all, but it's only limited to those words found in the dictionary so can't make it try to pronounce any singlish or hokkien words like what we always do to our electronic dictionary when we were young.
