Hello!

Welcome to my blog!
Will update stuffs that is happening to me...
Be it studies or my life...
Feel free to read all the stuff here..

But try not to read if you a sensitive person..

Don't Assume and Accuse...

Use the Don't Assume ~N~ Accuse beside the picture to navigate!!

Been thinking about taking the certificate in chemistry for the past few day...After thinking through it during the bus trip after CCA just now, decide not to sign up le...

Well, I still dont noe what i wan in life...to research? be a scientist? Earn big bucks? Enjoy life? Learn as many things as i can? Well, i been learning things that I am interested in since last year- Jap, biotech, Guitar...Biotech is or my career and the other two is purely interest...And i have start working this sems cause i were thinking that if my friend can juggle between studies and work, why cant I?

But i miscalculated...i have other commitment too...And I said before that service line is really not what i like and i cant stand it...Just wan to prove whether is it an excuse or really true for me...Conclusion: there is sufficient evidence to prove that i really hate working in service line to the core at alpha=0.05!!! haha....using Bstat method to write....

Well, No one force me to take up any of those...my parent let me have the freedom of choosing what course i wan to take in poly and i have not regret getting in the course yet, cause i already noe what to expect...Some of you might noe the real reason why i take up Jap class, but i have really found interest in it and will continue studying it till i cant understand anymore... And Guitar, Well, i join the cca cause I want to better my timing (always sing too fast)...Well, like playing guitar...though my timing still as bad...i use feeling instead of beats, so always either too fast or too slow...

Have the guitar evaluation just now...didnt noe can go early to practise, when i reached, everyone is already there to prepare lol....and the score i get is again some score that have difficult timing lol...my timing sux! anyway, have train my eye to read score without thinking too much le...but will still sometime play the wrong notes...cause i start to play without looking at my fingering but just the score only...Everyone will get a chance whether they wan to restart or not...my first try were ok but i feel that i can do better and request to restart, in the end, i keep making more mistake then my first attempt!

Feel good to write out all i want to say here...haha...though there still a lot i wan to say....at least it better than to bottle everything to myself...still have Cellbio test and INFO presentation tmr...And time for my to get serious on studying

1. STOP WATCHING ANIME
2. START STUDYING
3. QUIT WORK WHEN THE TIME COMES(HAVE BEEN AFFECTING MY RESULT, CAUSE NO TIME TO STUDY
4. LEARN JAP
5. STOP COMING ONLINE THAT OFTEN(SO I WONT BE BLOGGING IN A WHILE)

thats all...time to benkyoushimasu!

Hmm....finish my IS module today with the Presentation for Comt done and IAC volunteerism done...

Wanted to book a room at library, but booked the wrong room, booked the LYC gallery instead...lol....so went to Ourspace instead...didn't manage to rehearse our presentation...25% lol...

And we generally have good comments...and comment about me were: Calm when presenting, but stand too far from the audience. have eye contact. My presentation will improve by leaps and bound if only my pronunciation can improved...erm...haha...well, i were calm because i have not really much to say, so i speak quite slowly to drag a bit...in the end, i past the limit of 5min...shit!...And i don't think i will ever be able to improve on my pronunciation....this have been my problem since dunno how many century ago....

Only have 1 more project to go and our my project will be cleared...

Started my Jap lesson at Hougang Jap lang sch yesterday...and $220 were gone in a flash...learned counting like Chinese kind of 1个,1杯,1条...had not learned this b4 and have missed last lesson....so a bit lost when the teacher ask me to answer! But managed to understand in the end la...this time, the class have 4 time more ppl than my previous class in that sch...haha...have 3 ppl that time, now gt 12 ppl...

Time to start serious studying, but realised i m really addicted to anime, feel uncomfortable if i didn't watch any...

So anime, here i come...

Had my Jap speaking test on Monday and Infotech written test today...

Both of the test is......amari warui...Cause my partner and i did not use much the sentence pattern taught this sems...and we finish the test in like around 1 min only while other pairs finish in a longer time! Both our starting and ending were a mess...cause my partner say"konichiwa" and i reply"konbanwa" as it 7pm le....and i didnt even know that we have finish le lol! As for today info tech test, i didn't study beforehand and only studied during my 3hr break....in which i play a bit of game...don't even noe what the heck the question talking about....

feel that my life is in a mess now....seriously find myself having no extra other that those i have calculated and plan before...cause i always plan my schedule before coming to a decision...but i been adding more and more things that i have almost no time to breath or to have any last minute changes....take for example, ZY sms me and ask me to go guitar practices tmr cause gt a concert and i selected...but i cant make it, cause i have jap class tmr...anyway, i don't think it because of skill that i am selected, but because i am in his group that he selected me as another member told me ZY only ask our group, lol! But i wan CCA points!!! too bad, schedule cant match...And one of my colleague is on MC today, but i very tired today, so didn't agree...

And now, my current schedule weekly is

Monday- School(9am-4pm), Jap class(6pm-8pm)
Tuesday- School(8am-4pm), CCA(6.30pm-10pm)
Wednesday- School(8am-6pm)
Thursday- School(11am-3pm), Jap class(6pm-8pm), [sometimes, projects(9am-11am)]
Friday- School(1pm-5pm)
Saturday+Sunday- Work( irregular)

And i planning to add this for next sems

1. Certificate in Chemistry( 4pm-6pm, day unknown)[not sure cause Philbert dun wan to take +nt sure if i can get GPA of more than 3]
2. Jap A202(6pm-8pm)[not sure yet, will take if there jap B104 vacation module]
3. 1 more CCA[maybe not anymore if i don't have enough time, wed, 6.30pm-10pm?]
4. Continuing the jap class(Mon+thurs, 6pm-8pm)

100% will quit my job soon...i really hate the working hour of service line...I like to organise things nicely and work is always disrupting my plan...plus, the working hour so irregular...if the working is regular, i wont mind, but schedule based! I really prefer a 9am-5pm job...

Even though i supposed to do this weeks ago, it never too late to make a new year resolutions....

My resolutions/wish/plan for the semester and year is:

1. Study hard GPA more than 3. Target-GPA of 3.5
2. Strengthen my time management to make me less stress( actually, my time management is quite good la....)
3. Be more Patience( be more forgiving of those * who can't come on time)(MI: IV)
4. Take JLPT Lv 4.
5. Be a better me...
6. Prove that someone without chemistry background can do well if he really try! And that Chemistry+ Biology is not useless as what some of my sec sch teacher thought it is!
7. Able to play guitar well enough...

Hmm, have an super long blog entry with a lot of my plan for the future...let see if any of my plan will ever come into place...And tell me whether i should take up the certificate in chemistry? cause deadline for application is coming soon...or should i just give up? cause i can understand the lesson, just that i didn't study serious enough for common test and just pass....so i really feel that i can do it...but i not sure if the certificate module, which is almost university standard, that i can understand it...All readers reading my this entry...suggestion pls....thk...

Wake up quite late today....After Fish Leong concert last month where one of Mayday member, Ashin were the guest and listening to him sing, start to like Mayday old songs, and asked my dad to buy their old album....

They really have a lot of good songs! Edward came in the afternoon and we had a long chat...have not see him for like more than 6month!!! And we went to eat lunch before i went for work...Feel that we really have not chat for a long time and I really have no idea of what he been doing for the past 6 month, such as he quitting JC...quite shock, but he mention about it b4....

Went to work as usual....quite worried that will not be able to work cause of my hair...turned out fine and almost everyone call me Ah Beng after that lol...like i some kind of gangster...geez...

It not really busy at work today....haha...and it one of my colleague last day at Novena square, cause he got a transfer to Millenia walk...and so, we went to eat together at a famous chicken rice shop nearby...not forgetting, getting treat by the manager...haha...

Gotten my pay today...and for unknown reason, as i have only worked 2 day for that 2 week, my pay were as usual...Must be due to the fact the the 2day were Christmas+new year eve+ Allowance....haha....happy....thought i will get $0.00 for the month...

And the money will be spent very soon for the Jap class...

Realised that working hour seems to be longer now... it a good thing, no doubt...but it also because there less ppl in the outlet...with one gone today, another till the end of the month and one part timer gone too...so, will only left 3 management post, 1 full-timer and 5 part-timer...

Will work till the following week and stop to focus on exam...and choing on March and then quit...thats my plan for now...haha...

Hmm...needing money for education purpose now....jap class outside+ jap class in NP(if possible)+ Higher chem in NP(if possible)....

Wake up early today to go shop for clothes in orchard with Joe and Philbert....

Went to kinokuniya and Joe bought his "shakugan no shana" novel 10. Then went 77th street, but didn't see any clothes we like.... and to cineleisure pasta mania for lunch($10)....

Decide to go to Bugis instead and started walking to there.... On the way, we pass a shop selling guitar and piano, and we went in and i asked for a guitar tuner, since i lost mine the first day i got it for $26....

We finally reached bugis and we stop at "ice monster" where i order the ice mango sherlet($4.50)...been wanting to eat there for a long time, cause every time pass through bugis will see that shop and the desert look oishii...so finally get to eat it....

And on we go in search of clothes, and reached bugis street where Philbert bought a watch....didn't bought any clothes yet, so went to Bugis Junction...and went in to many shop to look for clothes too...

END RESULT: MISSION FAILED!!! Bought something except for clothes...not even one of us buy...lol....and in just less than 6 hour, i spent $40!!!...

Took 61 back home with Joe while Philbert went for his badminton....lol...

Guess i would have to wait till this Sunday bah...actually, i did see clothes that i like, just that i noe it would be on impulse if i bought it and i wont wear it much....so have to wait till i see a clothes that I am sure i will wear it very often.

Took this on tues, supposed to show the water splashing on the car, but not clear...

Hmm....been in a more relax mood lately...only one more project to clear and exam will start..

Took The Jap written and listening this Monday...Studied last min with Marcus. For my Jap, it actually my grammar and sentence pattern which is stronger and not vocab...so normally, when ppl tell me some jap, i may not be fully able to understand, cause i focus more on sentence pattern....and so, feel that i can only do well for the sentence pattern part and not the vocab part... next week going to test on speaking...hmm, wonder if i going to be able to come up with that many word to say...and my pronunciation...Will missed the first lesson at another sch, but well, it ok....since i think i would have learned what they going to teach anyway...

And went for CCA yesterday...performances during open house cancelled...i wan CCA points!!! And we practise a new song...finally can don't play guitar 3(bass)....and play guitar 1....yippee...finally can don't use the "finger hurting strings" with timing that is hard to grasp...cause no senior in our group and we anyhow choose, so i choose guitar 1...

And today...the longest day...finally play computer game together for the first time this term....lol...INFO project were like testing our conscience....asked us how much did u think u contributed to the project...everyone add up together must add up to 100%....lol...Lol...like erm...i didn't really did much...and i say 20%....and CC did the most, but got only 40%...hmm, feel that he did more than that...maybe i should have said 15% bah...

For unknown reason, maybe i do know why, i can never completely listen to Cell bio lesson....first the tutorial today, i tell myself that i cant sleep, must listen...and cannot use laptop...then half an hour later, saw gt a few sleeping and start to sleep too...During lecture, tell myself to listen, but ended up chatting with Joe and playing on my DS...

Exam is coming, how am i going to pass? must start to buck up....Anyway, after last sems lesson, that CCT- 15% is impt, studied for CCT and managed to get 78%, unlike the just pass result last sems....effort really pay off though got some question is i tikam tikam one...

Tmr lecture is cancelled and tutorial brought forward to today, so no sch tmr because of open house. Going out with Joe and Philbert to orchard tmr to shop for new year clothes...haha...didnt buy any when i went to JB last month. maybe i will go cut hair if i got time, still considering whether to dye hair or not....hmmm

Been Addicted to Tetris recently....Feel that life can be like a game of tetris. In tetris, you have to match and fit the spot to clear a line...in reality, when you encounter a problem, you have to find a solution for it, if you drag or don't bother, it will stacked up, and ur life will be almost gameover.

Recently, my life have been up as down...clearing a project feel like clearing one more level....And clearing an exam is like clearing 4 line.....

Finished IAC project le....although my group member were late, and we finish everything last minute, we still manage to complete and receive good comment from the teacher, though there are bad comments too....Overall, My IAC project, content wise is excellent because we have up-to-date statistic to support, we have survey, and most importantly, we have five interviewee!!! the most number one could get....all true story....Really thanks to those who helped me do the survey and those who are willing to be interviewed...cause there one which i didn't noe his parent were divorced when i sent him the survey link and he told me, the next thing i did were ask him whether i could interview him...k, i a bit insensitive...Sadly, our only bad comment were presentation skills....haha...well, that cant be helped...

Only Info tech project to go....this game of tetris is still going alright for me...Well, i got too addicted and complete the last level of tetris le when i were waiting for jap class to start last monday and were very focus on the game to pass time...

Colleague listened wrongly when i tell him my schedule....told him sat and sun and he listen friday and sat...get a shock when i reach work and see the schedule! friday 12.30-9!!! lol, i don't mind skipping class, but i got performance for open house....don't wan to miss any chance that can earn me cca point...got 9 point now....haha...

More and more colleague is quitting....haha...finally understand why some other part-timer say a lot of ppl will go and staff change very fast..., well, i wont be staying for long too...

Translating the interview into English as i did my IAC interview in Chinese...just suddenly Nithyla and Joe ask me things about the project at the same time!!! simultaneously!!! it like i ans Nithyla and then joe and back to nithyla...stress....and have to spend like 2 hour to translate a 2o min worth of interview...worse, IAC deadline is tmr, still not complete yet!!!

My group member better don't be late tmr...As i really hate ppl who are late...I a very time-concious person...and it like i wanted to complete everything by today...guess i hve sacrifice my sleeping time for tmr morning again....

Really have really less and less time for myself since school start

Talking about stressful stuff will make me more stressful....shall stop saying stress-inducing stuff

Went to the new OurSpace @72 after Ochem lecture just now to play board game....play the stacker and risk after that. Have not play risk for a long time alr...so forget the rule, and we spend a lot of time looking through the rule book....went home and finally have my long-awaited nap....

Labels: life, stress, studies

Cant get to sleep the previous night....so didn't sleep much...

life as normal....Get back our Organic chem practical test result and i got full mark...yay....lucky I did the test correctly....so once again have confident in my GPA...still have hope for a above GPA of 3, cause i intending to take the higher chemistry....

and got back my jap bk from Jessica...

Went to the library and do my jap hw without my textbook and i can still manage to do it...cool...still remember what the teacher taught last lesson...

Hougang Jap sch called and say that the class will start on 21Jan....And in today Jap lesson, my Jap teacher told us she planning to open a vacation module B104 so as to allow the year 2 student be able to study A202 by the end of their poly life and to in case some student going on attachment so that they can learn more....but the class can only be opened if there is more than 16 student....Haha...so like the timing super perfect...And after lesson, went to ask the teacher about the grant that i failed to sign up that time...AND IF U APPLY, THE COURSE WOULD BE FREE!!! heart pain....

Plan for the rest of the year
-Sign up for the Hougang Jap sch E2 module...Should be able to complete in April(~$210)
-If possible, take the vacation module 104 too( not sure whether got grant)($160.50)
- if above is valid, continue taking 201
-Continue on the jap sch I1 after completion of E2 and so on...
-Take JLPT Lv 4 by this year...

Me being a perfectionist, would hope that nothing go wrong with the plan above...if the plan can be done, i would quit my job....and my schedule would goes...
Mon-Jap class
Tues-cca
Wed-CCA( if able to join the piano)
Thurs-Jap class
Fri-Jap class

But, i guess i think too much le...

Anyway, were playing my DS in the library, and finally clear all the level of Tetris....yahooo...a Tetris pro now....gotten addicted to that game for unknown reason, guess classic game is a classic because it one of the best game...haha

Went to celebrate QW b'day...

Eat at KFC before moving on to catch a movie..."I Am Legend"

Well, the movie is quite good... a bit of science and seems realistic in plot...just feel the part about cure for cancer a bit too fake. Were eating popcorn and drinking vodka mix with other soft drink...and were passing around the popcorn and the drink between CY, SK and Me throughout the show...lucky i didn't fall asleep....

and next, went to a table where we mix more vodka and eat the cakes i bought...And finally reached home at 3.40am in the morning...

Nothing much too....

Watched "romantic princess" till the time needed for me to go to work...And on to work i went...

First thing i hear when i reached is "A lot of ppl have quit and u must try to give us more day!"...Well, for now, since school have started, the most i can give is 2 day per week, sat and Sun...the rest is off-limit! haha...But strange that there 3 person who quit, what more, 2 are full-timer and 1 part timer who have only work for less that 1 month and i never even have chance to work wit him together b4....

For unknown reason, the place started to flood in with a lot of people and is in full house stage...and i were like running here and there...and we have to give up closing the outside place which is supposed to close at 9...and one of the colleague which is say b4 that is not my fav seems to be very stress cause she is the barista and there are a lot of drinks order....and my store manager also seems to have some "personal problem"..so i a bit dare not disturb them....haha...

And if you see the closing, u will faint at the amount of cup and glasses needed to wash!!! but my colleague speed of washing is like super fast...

Bought some cakes to bring over to celebrate QW b'day....bought the marble chez cake cause more worth, it bigger than any other cakes there and is quite nice...

And finally finish in 11.15pm... And rushing to cineleisure...
