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!!
