Equipoise

Finally everything has fallen into place after a few weeks of hectic lifestyle. I had to submit the stupid Preliminary Idea, contact the Science Research professor, participate in sports meet, revise for the many many tests and also lots of lots of other things else. Hiax.. Realyl can't stand it man, juz as i thought i could slack after the Nationals, there's still so many stuffs waiting for me to complete. Even up till now I still owe teachers a couple of work.

Well, last Friday I attended the A*STAR interview. Erm.. There's nothing wrong with my answer, but then I didn't elaborate enough, so my answer can simply be labelled as cliche. Haix.. After so much preparation n so on, i could only asnwer so pathetically.But nvm, i learn and the following wednesday, I'm gonna perform even better at the MOE Pre-U Scholarship.

Then on Saturday had a long discussion with group members on the Group Project Proposal. Basically, the group was really really very cooperative and was very vvv patient. Even though the whole meeting took more than 4 hrs, the grp managed to stay focused and did really lots of stuffs. No slacking.. No nothing.. Only group discussion.. Btw i thought I gotta do more reading up and much more preparation before calling up a meeting. I feel tat the meeting was too long and the main reason was because i did not issue clear instruction on how to go abt doing everything. Anyway, i had a bad sore throat after speaking coninuously for more than 4 hrs.

Soon it was Wednesday and right there at the interview center, I was asked many many many many questions by the panel of judges. One of them is JJC principal, another one is a principal from another school, another is a MOE officer. Haha, i handled their questions rather confidently and then i think i would be able to secure the scholarship. The A*STAR interview basically taught me lots of stuffs and then i picked up quickly and then no problem abt everythign on that interview.

Sports meet.. Haix.. I'm so so so sick already lor.. Feel like vomitting, had a v bad sore throat and cough and still muz run somemore. Wad the.. But then no choice leh.. All my classmates are there supporting me and the teacher too. Won't it be bad if i didn't run? Ya eventually i ran and got a rather fast timimg.

Now i'm having fever, flu, cough and sore throat. Wad a combination! No choice.. Still muz go to school..

None of my Business

Well it's been quite some time since Mandy has been trying her best to really insult me and then trying to make me feel really bad about myself. Haix.. Don't she know that I don't even care about her opinions about me? Unless that opinion is from someone important to me lar, then i care. If not, it appears to make her seem like someone who likes to comment about everything under the sun, except herself. -.-"

Oh yar, Clarise proudly announced to the class that she's gonna donate her uterus, coz she dosn't need it anymore. Huh?? Yep, she's really proud of tat! Anyway I saw the advertisement on organ donation. The ad was highly misleading. It shows donating an organ (aka Klavichord) and initially i thought it's really donating an organ. But on second thought, does organ donation require a form? Wad is going on? Then I realised that.. %^&$* .. Yep that's wad they actually meant..

School's coming up with quite some events. The choir concert and guitar and so on. Which one should I go? None i supposed..

Anyway, rumour has been going on that there are some particular girls in this school who are real flirts. I wonder if tat's true..

Want

One week passed since I've last wasted quite some time on this blog. A quick glance on what had happened this week - Training for interview for MOE Scholarship, Fiona's birthday, National Cross Country. Without further rubbish, let's get down to real monkey business!

Well the interview training really made me look like a big fool. I couldn't even answer simple questions the "correct" way. Seems like I better have more practise and so on. Anyway, really just hope to get this scholarship.

Then comes Fiona's birthday. Despite of the very rush schedule, I still managed to squeeze out some time to meet her at the Esplanade. Everything went according to plan, or rather not really. The present was prepared actually quite some time ago and I had to be extra thrifty these few weeks. Maybe.. I could have put on the necklace for her? Erm.. On second thoughts, better not coz I had to respect her oso. Two students in school uniform sitting by the bay.. :)

National X Ctry. Didn't make it into the team. I was only involved with taking down the results. It really moved me a lot to see so many people put in so much effort just to run that race. People collapsing, crying, limping.. But when my Bro crossed the line, feelings took a sharp turn for disappointment sets into me. He chose his path, went through so much, but yet had such conclusion. I saw him cry, and tears began to form in my eyes. There seems to be something telling me that perhaps this the way it has to be, the decline of fitness. However, the emotional moment of the day came when the 'A' Boys won Team First. After so much conflict, effort and everything, what my Bro called it as Blood and Tears, the team emerged as champions. The school supporters gathered to sing the school anthem. Even some of the uncles who were perhaps old ACS boys sang. My bro cried again as he lifted up the championship shield. Truly worth admiration, truly worth the applaud of many. Truly, this was the day many people was waiting for. A bit exaggerated I supposed coz when RJ won, they didn't really enter such drama. Erm.. Perhaps tiz the ACS tradition - crying for everything. -.-" The post-race celebration went on quite until very late. Feeling worn out, people dragged their feet home and ended the odyssey of the team. Is it my turn next year? I'm not sure as I have other plans in mind..

Decrepit

Another day of rushing homework. It seems to me that I'm always trying to hit the deadline or sth like that. I'm quite tired of doing that and would therefore would planning my time well, and that would means less TV time and SMSing time. Haix.. Yar lor, on the bus oso muz make good use of the time to do homework, or else what ya expect? Dun study and expect to get good grades for the exam?

Anyway, got to hear a little bit about classmates. Juitlian went to Italy yesterday, Sophia's currently studying in UK, Jiamei's mother juz passed away recently, and NJC funfair coming soon. Tiz's quite pathetic coz I nv really stay with contact with my former classmates. Who to stay in contact with? People like Jiamei? Huh!

For me, staying optimistic has cut down alot of my complains. Respecting everyone at anytime, anywhere, has caused me to run dry of criticisms. Piles of workload hav made me work like a robot. Luckily there's still a personal diary to capture snipets of my happenings in school so that I can actually relax myself and reflect on myself.

And yeah, I was granted the interview for the MOE Pre-U Scholarship. Quite good, considering out of sooo many in my school applied, only 5 was selected for the interview. This goes to show the level of competition out there, so how to I show that I'm the rightful candidate for the scholarship? Not sure, next tuesday going for a specially arranged lesson to learn how to deal with such interviews.

How about something else? Like the people around me? Currently quite fun in school, although i dun talk alot nowadays coz I needa get my stuffs done first before i can actually sit down and waste time like i've always did.

So should i go for anymore interview by NUS prof? Haix.. Tat prof chang pressing me to giv him a reply. I think i'll juz tell him that my com break down, then sch library can't use yet, then all those crappy excuses, then aiyo nxt monday muz giv reply already. I supposed tmr muz tell him already. Tat Tong yen wah oso nv say anything much, juz ask me to go home and think about it. Quick lar! Reply leh! Or else I'm gonna smack ur face!

Glaciation

And so the story continues with me getting to know my classmates better as the day pass by. What actually happens is that i didn't really get to know any of my classmate. I juz leave everything to nature, whether or not they talk or not, i dun really care.

But somehow rather it works. Instead of being alienated, I actually feel comfortable speaking to them at anytime. Anyway, it's a class of scholars, so what else do i expect? I like my class and my school alot.

These few weeks I was going for many interviews with professors. Walao, they really know how to talk n talk n talk.. No wonder their hair all drop off. See lar, becoz of them i hav to skip training and many other things else. Can't stand it actually, but i thing anyway i must be worth my effort. Prof all so high-high-up-there, so nv i'm gonna learn n learn n do my research.

Next week Fiona's birthday is coming, so i was wondering wad's up.. My mother jealous already, her birthday i oso not so enthu.. Muz go sweet talk my mum already.. :0

Ok, national x-ctry coming, nxt wed. Omg.. i can feel my team's fire burning up their pants. They're really hungry for medals, the shiniest and most colourful ones of course. They'll be out there to kick other ppl's butt and win; I hope.. {-.-"} Haix, i'm growing more attached to the team already. How to leave??

Back to my work now, got lots of homework ever since 1st 3 months finished. Gotta go do some reading up on polymers for liver tissue engineernig already. Or else kana..
