school.. 10:03 PM
I did not blog recently due to my pretty obvious laziness and I was unable to access blogger when I left like blogging. Maybe blogger doesn't want me to blog?
School reopened already. Unlike people from primary/secondary/not sure about JC, we do not have the extra 1-2 weeks "extension" for our holidays. Probably due to the fact that we are not under MOE. But I feel that Poly students should also have extension as well. Since MOE-schools are advised to extend the holidays to give the incubation period of the influenza virus to reduce the chance of H1N1 spreading due to students coming back from the affected countries, I believe it should also be the case for Polytechnic students.
I am saying this not that I want the holidays badly (c'mon, I don't want to graduate 2 weeks later), but for the same reason. Primary and Secondary schools usually have a population of 1000-2000 and around 100 staff? On our side, if I remembered correctly, our staff alone is almost the same size as the student population of Primary and Secondary schools. Not to mention that our student population stands over 15000. If the virus were to spread, wouldn't it spread faster and easier in Polytechnics as compared else where? So I don't know why we don't have the 1-2weeks extension.
Anyway, first day of school. Obviously glad that I get to see my friends and they're all doing fine. Like always, the group is hyped up and taking every little chance to laugh at Meihui for the crazy things that she does. Haha.
On the other hand, BMT students start their SIP(attachment) today. People like Sherman and Kenneth are posted to K.K Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital respectively. I believe Sherman had a fantastic first day at work today because he said that there were 2 pretty girls who are ex-TP students helping him with his work today! Kenneth, being the only person in the cohort to be posted to virology in TTS to work with virus would probably have a hard time though.
With the BMT students at attachment, I realized that the year 3 PST students are officially ruling ASc now. There is BIO, but we seldom see their around also. Lol. Actually, it is still the same except that we won't see BMT students.
A special guest came to school today! Jasmin!! She came to school to find the PCD gang. I was included also, not in the PCD gang but Jasmin had something for me. Apparently she went to Penang and bought stuff for us! Thanks for the gift Jasmin!! I am touched that I am still remembered. Hahaha.
Now that school has started, I think that it is time to work hard. I probably would have less time to blog, but I'll still do my best to find time to blog. Hopefully the blog would be more alive and less dead. Haha.
