my $10 good quality poster HAHA

okay 13th april 2010 marks the end of my fyp with the poster presentation held at Lee Kong Chian Wing at Uni Hall whereby we got examined by our 2 examiners by presenting our posters and answering their questions. the atmosphere was half tensed half relaxed i feel, with the tense atmosphere coming from the nervousness when we know our examiners are walking around and starting to examining, while the relaxing atmosphere comes from interacting with other year 4 students from our cohort that we know or may get to know, and the photograph taking sessions that comes along with it. feels more like commencement whereby you are basically grabbed out of nowhere to be either taking photo with or helping others to take photo. my poster was located near the food table! which i didn't eat much because the food wasnt that nice.

i could say the day was rather tiring with us standing the whole day and i got tired waiting for my first examiner which is prof hor. initially i was the 4th on the list alphabetically and he skipped me after the 1st 3 people to and started to examine from the back -____-|| so i waited 3 freaking hours for him! (became the 7th person instead) could say i did stumble in my speech during my presentation and it doesnt help when prof hor keep interrupting and asked his questions. nevertheless, despite the stumbling presentations, i felt that i handled his questions well enough. after a hurried lunch with my mentor, prof yip came and examined me first (i didn't know i was 1st on his list) and i felt i did a great job in my presentation this time round after the session with prof hor and surprisingly he was in an ultra good mood after his coffee session so he wasnt nasty at all =) both examiners did comment 'good' after my presentation =) so tada~ end of FYP =) didn't end with a boom but its good enough to get rid over and done with.

didn't have any celebration at all after the poster session since i had test on wed and friday. but no one was in studying mood at all. my OM test did rather average which i could say i was rather careless, but good enough considered that i didn't study that much and i passed the test haha. supra test was crappy and none of us had the mood to study at all! imagine my last lesson in NUS for my undergrad studies ended on a friday at 9pm! and with a stupid 40 mins test! gosh. but at least i am done with my undergrad studies for now and what's left is my 2 exam papers which are nicely spread out on 26th and 4th may, and i wouldnt have the mood to study at all. this is the after fyp effect as my friend commented lol.

and my grad studies application came out. received a conditional offer which says that i'll need my 2nd upp honors to be accepted. which means i need to pray hard for my FYP result and score for my 2 remaining modules. need to mug but i am already in a holiday mood already =| still waiting for the slow GIST to reply me before i make my decision on which one to choose from. one involves yet another 4 years in NUS which i wouldnt know whether i will have the perserverance to hold on for another 4+ years, while the other one only leads me to a masters in industrial chem when i kinda know that i wouldnt be going into the industries. lets see how it turns out.

and i'm glad i am slowly adapting back to non-lab days for now with mugging in the process for exams. though my mind will always loiter to what i will plan to do when i head back to lab in may for my part-time stint, at least that hollow feeling wouldn't come back to haunt me anymore. good bye fyp disease and stress =)

and yup. good luck to all for exams! goodbye to my undergrad life soon! sense of nostalgia will set in soon i guess with me missing the days of attending lectures with sharks and slacking around the pink table, playing cards during breaks and mugging together during exam periods and have long lunch break to avoid the studying. nice memories which will stay with me =) and i hope i will be ready to embrace the next part of my life with gusto =) jiayous everyone and thank you to all who have contributed to making my uni life colorful or making my torturous fyp less tiring and memorable one =) a big fat thank you to sharks, chem people whom i know and we suffered together, my wonderful mentor, my nice supervisor, my lab mates and every single one of you including my guitar peeps and 07 peeps =)

goodbye to undergrad life! (which will be official on the 4th may, the liberation day)

Cameron Highlands!

okay its yet another long period which i left my blog barren. its a tough, tiring period that just went through, but yet its actually quite unnoticeable given that i was too busy with work i guess. which i thought was good though even that i am currently now too unused to getting more personal and free time and i really don't know what to do with them. thesis is due next friday and i'm done with it. just submitted to dr zhao to vet and waiting for another round of editing soon. poster i'm done with it for now since i am so freaking sick of it and i really dont know how about to do it. poster abstract is all that i'm left with, but i am already kinda done with it too. theres no more work to preoccupy me with which makes me feel really hollow and bored. i wondered how i used to survive when i had nothing to do at all. this break from the hectic schedule arent doing anything good to me though yes i do get more sleep and rest but still quite emotionally and spiritually hollow.

its always weird when you get too busy you want a break. but when you get your breaks you will feel that something is really missing. or is it just me feeling this way. a lot of fellow honours students are happily counting down to end of fyp which somehow i am to get rid of the burden in my head but im just too unused to doing nothing. staying at home its too boring and theres no one to really talk to except me facing in front of my comp the whole day, logging in and out of facebook every 20 minutes and trying to find things to do. though yes i still have my poster presentations clashed with 2 tests on week 13 but still theres no mood to study or do anything. and it doesnt help when the freaking webcast just keep lagging and i cant stand to watch and listen to the boring supra lecture without any pauses. what a good friday it is with lousy webcast bufferings.

and there are still other things that are bothering me other than school work which i cant say it out here but still i will stand by my decision though i know there might not be a great ending to it, given the differences and personal expectations. but hopefully i can get it settled soon after exams. (edit) i shall now basically heck abt it given the situations and that give me better breathing and thinking space (/edit)

and still waiting for my results for graduate studies. the nus interview didn't really go well so im hoping at least gist will reply me else i would need to re-sort out my future plans again. or is that any plans to begin with in the first place?

okay enough of ramblings. at least i did had a good trip to cameron highlands over last weekend with the lab people. despite the long bus ride back and forth from SG, the one-day visiting i would say its rather fruitful. visited the various farms - strawberries, watercress, vegetable, tea planations and i would say its a change of environment from the bustling SG to a quiet cameron for relaxation which i would agree that the air is much fresher there. and really had great travelling companions and we sang ktv in the night for around 8 ringgit each for an hour plus which i thought was enough. a good break i would say despite of the deadlines that are constantly bugging me but still, we had fun in the sun =)

okay hopefully everything will turn out fine in the end and draw a nice ending to my 4 years in nus =) jiayous to everyone for exams! =)

(p.s. thanks guys for the tags on the tagboards and smses but i believe i will be back to usual eventually =))
