Time has passed... 8:36 PM
Okay. I'm here to blog again. After like, don't know how many years (or maybe days lah).
I have reasons for not blogging these few days. Firstly, I don't really know who is reading or who is not without the tags and lot so I decided not to blog just to read it myself. After that, there is the term tests, exams and chalet that I went to after the exams and maybe I'm just freaking lazy. LOL.
Nothing much happened during the term test/exams period, it's just mugging and more mugging everyday. It's plain boring, I swear. PA term test was a killer. It is supposed to be a TERM TEST, but it's as long as a sem paper (2hours). BPT was horrible as well, with the calculations worth 10 marks and I have no idea what I was writing totally. I seriously hope I pass everything this semester and don't retake any subjects.. >_<
After that there is the SIP (Attachment) briefing where we're told where we got posted to for attachment. Apparently I got posted to Lonza Biologic Singapore Pte Ltd. It's a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant located in Tuas. Yes, Tuas. I was posted to Tuas despite living in Pasir Ris. Excellent eh?
However, Rui Bing actually messaged me one day telling me that Miss Hor called Aqidah and said I got posted to NHG (a Polyclinic) instead. But I still haven't receive any E-mails or calls from Miss Hor yet. So I'll just take it and see how it goes.
After the SIP briefing, it's chalet with the hugeeeeeee clique. Like, big as in big. LOL. It's for 3 days 2 nights and a lot of funny things happened. From Glenn's crazy stunts to Meihui's retarded moments. Hahahaha. I'm just super glad that I went for the chalet!
For now, I shall have my 2 weeks worth of rest before becoming freaking busy for attachment and major project. Hopefully it would be enough. I don't want to die young. =/
August is coming to and end soon and September is coming. A new month, new things would happen. What would it be? I can only wait and see. Hahahaha.

Guilty.. 9:49 PM
I am feeling guilty and stressed now. GMP Term test 2 is at 9am tomorrow morning. I didn't really study a lot today, I am afraid that I might fail it D;
PA is on Tuesday. Due to my one week of being sick, I missed quite a number of PA lectures and hence didn't learn some of the things that was taught in class. Now that is scary as well. I shall stay back in school tomorrow after the paper with the rest of the peeps and ask them to teach me everything they know. Hahaha.
I should actually cherish the anxiety that I am feeling now. It may be the last time I will have this feeling due to preparation for tests/exams. The feeling sucks I know but the thought of not feeling it anymore sucks for some reason too.
It's coming to the end of August already. September is on the way here and that means Teacher's Day is coming. I am having thoughts of going back to PRCS (my secondary school). But I want to wait and see if anybody is going back. I don't want to be alone back there. It is going to be awfully weird and I don't like it. So PRCS students who feel like going back to visit the teachers, leave tell me by leaving a tag or message me. =D

It's hard.. 12:03 AM
It is always hard to let go of many things, many people. Especially those that you treasure the most or hold most dear to you.
Thursday's GMP lecture was technically the last "listening" lecture I am going to have in Temasek Poly in my entire life. After that, I would not have anymore lectures (unless I fail some subject and have to retake it luh. *Choi*!) in school anymore. It is also hard to believe that time has passed so quickly. It was just then where I was at week 0 orientation camp for year 1s in April 07. The difference in school population, school hours and difficulty of the subjects was something that I had to get used to, in order to adapt to the new learning environment that I was thrown into. For my classmates, remember how we suffered for Organic and Inorganic chemistry in the first semester? Just the abbreviations of those subjects (OC & PIPC 1) would actually turn our smiling faces to frowning faces. How can we forget about Biochemistry when we're in year 1.1? Dr Lim, where the cohort girls go literally gaga over (some of my female friends even take video of him during lecture okay!! Yes, it's that crazy). Nevertheless, his subject never fails to kill. With the first lecture already talking about the individual combination of DNA and the various process of DNA replication.
Moving on to semester 1.2, we were face to face with microbiology, handling of organism that are so small that we can't even see. The tedious sterilizing "Flame, Flame" procedure that we have to follow. Cell Biology is one of the toughest subjects to that date, where a lot of people died to. CSAS, where we have to dress in formal attire and come out with a presentation about a specific topic and guess when was my presentation, Chinese New Year's eye. Lol.
Despite the suffering, time actually moved forward and suddenly I am in year 2. Organic Chemistry 2 caused me the most mugging, brain-wrecking experience. The different combination of chemistry, different process and crazy chemical reactions almost killed me. In year 2.1, we were also first exposed to PBL (problem-based learning) where everybody learns on their own. Then, finally the first "Physics-lookalike" subject surfaced, PUO. Calculations, calculations and calcuations. Tell me why I hate them. Lol.
Semester 2.2 is actually one of the most exciting part of my Poly life. It is the first time that I am posted to a class where I have no close friends in. Basically I am alone and had to make new friends all over again, like a year 1. Luckily, I met people that I could get along well with and despite the small class we are, I enjoyed every second of semester 2.2. This semester is also the most taxing one that we have, with everyone in PST sleeping at around 2-3am in the night due to project deadlines. You can see everybody's panda eyes very clearly.
In April 09, I am year 3. Whoaaa. Senior already =O. The year started off fine, with me and some of my friends in the same class again with others of course. Funny things happened along the way, like how I was mistaken by a year 2 girl as year 1 on the FIRST day of me as a year 3 student. This semester was supposed to be "slack", since we technically only had 3 subjects. But bullshit, say hello to GMP. Your favorite subject for life. The workload from GMP alone actually acts like. 3456789876543 subjects already. Slack? In you dreams maybe, if you get to even dream.
Friday was the last day that I wore the school labcoat as a student. Somemore it was for PA practical test. The labcoat has actually been with me for 3 years and I didn't even really notice it until now. Memories of my past in TP flashed through my head as the left the school. Realizing that I only have to come back to school for 3 more days (for exams) before my final studying semester actually ends. On the surface I hate school to the max, but actually deep down, we all love school. Hahaha.
Thursday and Friday the peeps decided to camwhore like crazy, in order of capture the last memories of us being together. Only then I realized that the group is the huge one. Like 20 people, with quite a number didn't come and some who left earlier. Hahaha.
I just want to say this to all my friends that I made in Poly.
I AM GLAD THAT I GOT TO KNOW YOU GUYS IN MY LIFE. THANKS FOR MAKING MY LIFE SUCH AN EXCITING ONE. It has been a whacky ride and PLEASE, don't forget me!! =DD
Oh yeahhh, I saw World Champion today!! He was interviewed by CoCo Magazine. Hahahahah. Ehhhh, I know the world champ okay!! Lucky me!! XD!!

The End.. 8:08 PM
A week has passed, many things have happened.
I really don't remember everything since last week but I will blog about some of the easier to remember ones.
And it starts on last Friday.
The was no PA lab last Friday, so basically I have no school then. A Sentosa Trip was planned by the guys earlier last week when we got to know that there will not be lab on that Friday. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, several of us had to return to school in the morning to consolidate the GMP report.
The trip carried on as normal in the afternoon as Kairos, Shobana, Sujun, Meihui, Boon Pin, Betilda and Din took the train to Harbourfront to meet Glenn and Rachael. We had lunch there eating Long John Silvers and Boon Pin won a Lenovo netbook! Now he's crazily collecting the 6 different screen wipers to exchange for the prize. Hahaha.
Took the don't know what rail from HarbourFront straight to Sentosa. We went to the beach straight and had much fun playing different games on the sand and under the Sun. After that was "Throw Meihui into the water" Game. Lol, apparently Shobana said that it was one of the agendas for the day. Hahahaha. But hooo, Meihui did struggle alright. In the end she said she'll go in herself. Lol.
Went back to Vivocity to have dinner and went with the rest to shop awhile and then went back home for a long sleep...
Saturday, Sunday, Monday was just going out, going out and going out. Hahahaha.
I didn't regret going out at all as I had lots of fun. Oh yes, before I forget, Happy belated Birthday Singapore!!
Regarding Jubeat, yeah people. I am S4 now. But I didn't really play a lot. I could class up this fast is because of the others helping me by playing my card. Lol. Thanks to them, I saved quite a bit of money. Haha.
Lastly, Congratulations for Benjamin for winning the World Championships in Tokyo this year!!! You have done us proud!!! =D

Change of heart.. 10:20 PM
I solemnly swear that School is out to make my life more torturous.
However,
I still enjoy being in it.
It is coming to the end of the semester. When I actually go and count the number of days I have left of studying in school, I suddenly have this feeling of not wanting it to end. It is ironic isn't it? There I was, complaining and complaining about how school sucks and all, how projects is draining my soul out. Then here I am, missing school already.
I feel very reluctant of moving on, not going be to sitting in the lecture hall with my friends and looking at notes. SIP doesn't seem so interesting all of a sudden. Actually, I feel that I am nuts talking about this, but I don't want to graduate. I want to be with my friends. They're the ones that help me when I'm down, showing me the way to standing back up again, caring for me when I am sick and for that I am really thankful.
This is always the case, people only miss something when they actually lose it where they should have cherished it from the start. But is it the same for her? Am I really going to miss her when she's finally gone? Will I be able to make her disappear from my head? Only time will tell.
I need to get back to focus. Schoolwork is at hand, grades are on the line. Moving on is always hard but that is how we seriously grow..

Regret.. 11:22 PM
Do you ever have regrets in your life? I am quite sure that everybody would have during some point in their life. Well at least I do and it starts with her. Is making my life miserable the reason that I got to know you? If that's the case, I rather not know you. But who knows, maybe not knowing you might just make my life even more miserable than now. I feel very.. uneasy now. I don't know why, but the feeling just lingers in me.
That aside, today has been a long day. I slept kinda late yesterday and woke up early today. I am quite scared that I would fall sick again. I don't want to remember it at all. It's terrible, not being able to move or eat.
Today started off with the usual noise from my mom and my brother early in the morning, from TV to scoldings to the washing machine.
Something happened during breakfast that was totally stupid and I don't wish to talk about it. It's just that if dad wasn't there, I would have committed murder using a bowl. Yes, I'm that angry I swear.
Met up with many people in the afternoon at Ehub. Cause they wanted to play Jubeat. Went ahead with that of course. Fun mah. Seriously the machines at Ehub all dying already. I think it has been banged hard too many times. By 3pm or so we all went the JJ and met up with the others.
Had dinner at somewhere that I haven't been eating for a long time already. Long John Silvers. There is some promotion now. Apparently, 3 piece chicken meal which costs $5.50 last time only cost $4.40 now. Yay!! Save money. Hahaha.
Went back to White Sands to Jubeat again. I only played once, cause I didn't want to spend too much. Waste money luh. Somemore Terence is around, he will laugh at me for being too noob. Hahahah! I shall make a promise after I get to S4 and get In the Name of Love, I shall cut down playing of Jubeat. I also need to find somebody to make me keep my promise, I don't know who, but my parents aren't very good choices because they themselves bring us out to the arcade more often than you think. Happening parents? Aren't they? Hahahah.
Finally, once in a while I get a breather. Nothing is pressing at hand for submission tomorrow. I am so tired already. Glad that the semester is coming to an end soon.
This is bad. Seeing that I slept very few hours yesterday, I should be sleeping now. I might fall sick again soon. I just hope my body would be able to take it. Thinking about that, I think I should just go sleep now. What am I still waiting for? Lol.
Alright, I shall go to dreamland now. Good night people!!
