Week 2 done!
This week was hectic, with the Secondhand Book Sales period going on. It also brought lots of warmth to my heart that my people did their duties meticulously, and really did a good job in doing their own special part for the students.
Round of applause for WELFARE!!!
Woohoo~
Alright, well... There have been some difficulties, but none too hard to overcome. Nothing huge or major happened. Most people were patient and understanding, and thus the baddie few did almost nothing to faze us!
Mmmhmm!
Valentine's Day preparation has been alright so far. And yes, looking forward to it! Jiayou!
These few days have been a bit sien. Need to change my playing style for Monopoly Deal coz I am currently on a losing streak. My deck just hates me, after a very very short period of letting me win. Like seriously, Leonard gets at least ONE dealbreaker every round, and both dealbreakers every now and then. Just my luck :/
That is why I hate card games.
Apart from that, has also resolved something. Something along the lines of, I will never show something to someone. Yep. Fill in the blanks yourself. Coz like, when you don't want to experience something, you should just avoid it. Or actually this applies to only certain situations. But yeah, as long as I believe in myself, that'll be fine. (:
Oh yes, my lab group got split up! T.T But it was good at least Joanita is there! And we still get to see each other (benchmates), and chat and all... Cheryl is in the same group as me, so there is still much to chitchat about, haha! Joanita, she just stands there and looks longingly at us... ):
Yep!
Overall, very very intense week. Made it through! ^_^
More to go!

Title-less
I don't really know what to put for the title of this post, haha. But during recent times, it has not been easy as I type on this blog. Somehow there is just so much to worry about, and because you know that there are certain people reading it that are.... not getting the point of it.
And you just have this feeling they want me to do something, though I don't want to. A blog that has over 400 posts spanning three years.
It has been a month and a day. I think I have been okay with it so far. And ohmytian, I almost forgot. But I still did in the end and did a mini magazine as a gift in like, 10 minutes.
School has been busy so far, which lessons, readings, and Welfare. But I am still managing well, I think. Sien. My quiz thingy scored not so well. Looking at the marks it seems alright, but put it with the bell curve, I think I'll get a damn lousy score already.
Currently, really feel like going on a holiday and go overseas and play... But looking at my schedule... Really like, impossible. Going to be spending 19 days in Cambodia + Bangkok, so that's all for my going overseas to work + play. But I really feel like going to other countries too!

First week of school
Finally back in school. Don't know whether should be happy or sad.
Being back in school means having no time for anything else.
Seeing from a SCMC point of view, being back in school means academics + Science Club work to do. Science club work is sort of fun and more fulfilling, at least to me... Yet there is still academics to take care of and that sucks the fun out of everything.
And on the academics side, being back in school means having to study study and study. LSM is not a good place to be in, since the cohort is so huge, a portion being Medicine rejects, so the whole bell curve thing is probably not going to work to your advantage. Not to mention, everybody is so chiong with the work. Simple lab report also write until want to submit to Science journals like that or something. Sien.
Everyone is just so competitive! Is this typical of universities across the world, or is it just Singapore, or is it just my school? Super sighx when I think about it. Learning is about knowing things, not showing off how much you can remember in a fixed amount of time. It doesn't mean that just coz my grades are horrible that I don't understand anything!
And also there are like, groups of people who are so obnoxious it makes me irritated. ARGH!
Can't believe I'm going to be here for another 2 or 3 years... I would totally become a no life nut who thinks about CAPs and studies and research, and nothing else!
In any case, I guess it is still not as bad when I know that my friends are around and there for me when I need them. Although at times, they use studies as an excuse for stuff, but they still care for me la.
I think, this world is a little screwed up already. Science, technology, and advancement actually causes our Earth to deteriorate, yet we are doing all we can to learn, so that we are able to do more research to find new ways to advance our society. And this ultimately speeds up the destruction of us.
Not only that, some people's mindsets are really weird. I don't really understand society anymore. That's why I turn to science because at least it has some true facts that can't be proven wrong. Humans are just too complicated to understand... ZZZ!

So long, 2010~!
Year 2010 ended beautifully!
Seeing how my personal diary is so thin in 2010, really shows how eventful it really is. So this blogpost is basically a summary...
First part of the year was spent working. So I started working as a clinical asst. It was tough initially, but I managed to make a lot of new friends, most of which older than me. They helped teach me to grow as a person, mature as a person. Evelyn, congrats on your new baby boy~
This part of the year was also when I was really concerned with my family bonds. I felt like my family was falling apart because it felt more like a house than a home. Some stuff that we could have done as a family, my parents object and weren't cooperative... So at that point, I was really depressed. It doesn't help that, my NUSH friends are all over the place and I didn't really have people I could rant to. I can't rant to Angela all the time coz that would be stressing her out!
Also, admissions to NUS was a pain in the neck. So much stuff to do, no reminders at all... I'm thankful I got past that stage!
Then, school started with a whole range of possibilities. The first thing that annoyed me was Orientation, coz publicity wasn't done very awesomely and thus we almost couldn't get to SOW. But still, we managed to. Met my very first friends in NUS there. I really love my Dryads! We are still going strong as a group now, and that is very heartwarming to experience!
After that, my short time in Alpha really stressed me out, so I decided that I would concentrate my time and sweat to being in SCMC. So then, I got into SCMC as a NUSSU welfare representative. And now, I'm on my way to being a Welfare Director as well.
My CAP wasn't as awesome on the academics side, but I did enjoy my time at NUS, my new friends, the things I learn... Yep. So it was a really fulfilling experience.
On top of that, something that I did not expect... I found someone I love. Although it hasn't been long, but we are both still learning more about each other as the days go by. So far, things have been alright. I do enjoy my time with him a whole lot, and I'm appreciating it everyday that I have him with me. And he makes me a much much happier person simply because I know he will be there (:
Looking forward to 2011~
