14th Dec

Yesterday was my last paper. Classmates and I went to celebrate the start of our pathetic 2 weeks break by having a feast at Tampines Mall Seoul Garden. It is always fun getting along with these guys, they are like me, full of shits. And together, we are a pile of shit. After lunch, I went back home to get change for swimming session with yao, bird and liang. We talked about the plans for this coming christmas and laughed at how the ladies of the usual christmas gathering reduced to only 2 left, which is Jasmine and Cynthia. Bird suggested to go shaw's Aloy thai for dinner, oh well, it brings back memories. Our pilot is feeling generous and he decided to treat all of us, nice right? free meal! During the meal, I received a call from school, the caller is Steven from Student Leadership Program, and guess what? I was selected to go for a student exchange program in Japan. Steven told me that this trip to Japan is also considered as a CDS, which means by the time i graduate, i would have completed 5 CDS. I am seriously looking forward to this trip as i get to make new friends and experience new things.

15th Dec

Lazy day for me, i slept late and also woke up late. Was planning to sleep longer but my cute little nephew woke me up. He always surprises me with funny stunts and stuff that always make me laugh my head off. My sis just came to pick him home and i went for lunch with mummy. Now im home i guess i need to start my holiday assignment soon, so i can really enjoy the rest of my term break with ease.

Term test starts tomorrow, more or less im prepared for it, i guess i am if not i wont be blogging right now. Few weeks ago i was assigned to organize Electronic Sports day for electronic students, obviously. As a sports person myself, i felt that it was kinda cool to be able to organize a sports event. So given this opportunity, i made this event so ambitious just like world cup tournament. With group stages and knock out rounds. To my surprise and disappointment, only few classes turn up. My senior told me this is normal as usually the Year 2 and 3 students wont be bother about this event. Even with only a few classes, and some makeshift teams form up by helpers. We still manage to play a few games. My greatest take away from this event is experiences, new friends, and a broken ankle which is bothering me for weeks, argh..

Few days ago, i just went for an interview for SLP program. How cool is the acronyms of the program, i thought it was like sleep program? That is stupid i know. The acronyms actually stands for Student Leadership Program. Just went for the interview previous tuesday, where i had the chance to meet students from other diploma with outstanding results. It was a group interview and each of us took turns to answer questions, they were all pretty impressive i must say so, they definitely sound and look like leaders, with confidence and all.

I am so glad to be given this opportunity to be in this program, because i can finally go overseas! Life had changed so much for me, i was still complaining about how useless i was few years back. Perhaps that is what makes me useless, by looking down on myself. I have to constantly remind myself, 我不怕别人看不起我, 只怕我自己看不起自己.

One of my modules has this assignment to write a learning journal on a video talking about setbacks and turning points in life. This made me recalled 3 years ago when I faced rejection from RP, looking back now turns out to be a blessing in disguise. I was fortunate to have someone encouraging, helping me to get back on my feet back then.

I realized its the memories and the lesson learnt that matters most in relationship. What we learnt from each other to make us a stronger and better person. I am glad it didnt ended awfully to which we would have hated each other, and its still possible to stay as friends.

Today i received 2 mst results, and i am glad that im still on track. Hopefully nothing goes wrong from here onwards. I read about NTU Renaissance Engineering Programme and it totally interests me, a 4.5years dual degree programme. Getting in would be difficult but i am just gonna try. By prevailing all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his goal or destination.

Today maths was a pinch. I spent so much time, put in so much effort and end up i still make mistakes. I hate the feeling when i only realized my mistake until the very end, by then i will have no time to rectify my faults. I got to put in extra effort in the next 2nd half of this semester if i want to score well.

I dont know why i still have this vivid impression of what my sis told me when i was in primary school when my dad just passed away. I still remember it was at the bus stop near my mum's old shop when we were waiting for bus home. She said that success is 99% hardwork and 1% intelligence. Its a pity that i took so long to realized what she was trying to tell me.

There are so many things i want to accomplish in life, but ultimately, I want to marry the person I love, build a home of our own and have lovely kids. To achieve all this, there are no other ways than to put in my best effort in everything i do.

It is almost 3am in the morning, just woke up from my sleep. Last evening was too damn tired for me, only manage to revise for about an hour then i went straight to bed without showering and my hair is still waxed. Damn, now i realized how unhygienic and dirty i am. Oh well, guess i shall take a shower first and continue my revision.

Feels like this weekend was not as torturing as previously. Probably because i start to get myself busy with all the school stuff, work and my bike lesson. Saturday was fy's birthday, he organized a kite flying session which i was not able to attend cos of work and i was ashamed about it. Talking about work, the computer jobs i used to work was at its low peak, in order to find another source of income, i get my brother to introduce me to work at Ku de Ta restaurant.

 In the morning, i was awaken by my Raye's cute little voice, my sis and brother-in-law came to visit mum. So i get the chance to play with my little nephew, i was not able to play with him for long, I got to prepared for my quizzed this coming week starting from monday. Fortunately Elite and Auntie was also here to keep that hyperactive boy occupied. Other than the time spent on having lunch with family, the rest of the time was spent on studying, from morning all the way till 4 plus when i have to get ready for work. 

Elite worked at Ku De Ta before, so i told her that i am working that day. She being jobless for so long decided that she should start working, so she arranged and managed to get to work with me. F&B jobs are physically demanding, especially in high class restaurant. But its worth it cos its $9/hour. Work starts at 6pm and officially ended at 1am. A van was arranged by the company to send all its employees home, after all the waiting and dragging, i reached home at around 2pm. Knowing that i got bike practical and theory lesson the next morning at 8.30am , i went to sleep immediately after shower.

Spent most of the time studying this weekend. At home and at mum's shop till her day ends. I am surprise that my mum actually asked me to not study too much. Haha. I think I heard that before few years ago, but it was not to play too much. I must score well for the coming quizzes. Happy Mother's Day Lao Bu!
