My holiday is gone...

Time simply flies and I have come to the last week of my holidays. Tomorrow marks the beginning of my first term exams and I also thought that it would be a great time to test how much I've actually know.

During the whole of the last week of the holiday, I was down at MD7 at the department of Biochemistry researching on sth abt purifying CD38, an enzyme involved in immunology. Anyway, it was fun as in it was very new, but things start to get really really bored when I had to keep repeating the experiments without even knowing what went wrong! Well.. Maybe this is science research.. I was the only guy there, with three other RJ girls. Hmmm.. There was this girl who seemed to be lacking in manners.. Burping loudly on numerous occasion in front of everyone, sitting with her legs wide open, yawning without even attempting to cover her mouth, bitting her fingers during research work (eek!), cleaning her teeth after meal, scratching her butt blatantly, carrying an offensive bo, very bushy and untidy hair, and on top of that, a freaking weird personality!! Haix.. Her self esteem must be supremely low.

Training was getting very very tough for me. Very very tiring i think, and also becoming dull. But i still managed to pull it through.

One day I was talking to an ex-classmate abt our sch. She happily described what happened in her school. Similarly, the question was posed back to me, " How's ur school? Any interesting things happening in ur sch? " I paused and thought for quite a while.

Expectations

To love is to be vulnerable. To attempt anything - music, love, art - is to risk failure, and that takes a kind of courage, and an openness to change. I've made a decision, and do not, and any time, intend to go back to square one. I only have the rights to my actions alone, never its fruits. My plight, you will not understand. I seem to reap what I sow. One last thing which I ask of you is for you to work hard for your 'O' Levels.

I was awarded the MOE Pre-U Scholarship and the A*Star Science Award. The other day, my Chinese teacher said something which inspired me a lot. Her words, I felt, were poignant. Following that I was appointed the role of the Cross-Country Captain, and that means I'm be leading the team to spear-head the competitions.

I've read quite a bit of comments on my tag board. I apologise if those comments seemed ignored.

Sometime ago, I heard a story. Once there was a centipede who used to dance extremely well with all her hundred legs. Different animals used to assemble and watch her dance with admiration, and all sang her praises except one tortoise who was jealous of the centipede, as he could not dance at all. One day he went and slyly told the centipede that he was a great admirer of hers, but he wanted to ask her one question. He had been watching her closely, he said, and he wanted to know, did she lift her leg number 51 before lifting leg number 79? The centipede started thinking about what she actually did when she danced. The result was that she never danced again.

One thing which I've learnt recently is the spirit in which I do my work. What's important is how I shoot the arrow. It really does not matter whether I hit the target or not. Of course this doesn't mean I shouldn't expect results. In fact, it is good to have a clear mental picture of my ultimate goal, so I know exactly what I am striving for. If I drop the thoughts about the results from my mind, I will thus be able to pay better attention to the details of my actions.

Anyway, walao.. I'm on u tube.. So embarrassing..

Arh.. rumours has it going in the class that.. Who does Clarice exact want? Junjie or that guy who's always with her.. Can't recall his name oso. Well the class is watching in anticipation. Don't keep us in suspence too long, Clarice! Of course secretly, I support Junjie.. Haha. Stalker XXX seemed much quieter these few weeks. Perhaps she stalk too much already.. until too tired no more energy. Haix.. The legendary Tang sisters, when they talk like alien communication. Nobody understand. Walao.. like some kind of mouse squeeking, but then somehow rather they seem to understand what each other is talking about.. And then also, 369 has come to my attention lately. Better stop herre, in case some one beats me up.. Hmmm.. I heard Mei Ping had been bad mouthing me alot in front of her friends, especially Lily. Who the hell is Lily anyway?

Gotta study and prepare for the terms exam now..
