Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

9:10 AM

arrived in school at 8.30am. Step into SME clubroom wanted to clear my stuffs bit by bit (although not much to clear) and found out that MY THINGS ARE GONE, together with the rest....

den i realised it's inside a box... with 5 other boxes at the side of the club room.

OMG... so fast sack us and kick us out of SME??!! (just joking) but is there a need to be so efficient, my dear Quarter Masters???

First we loss our access to SME clubroom. Now no more pigeon hole to put our stuffs. -.-"

haven't been coming school for quite a few days. saw alot of things written on the board:

1) Thursday (public holiday!) meeting at Changi Airport Terminal 2 BurgerKing. -.-"
2) Badminton on friday 5-7pm (i'm coming after work!) so long didn't exercise... at least i din grow fat ahahha.
3) E2 matrix Cycling Invitation on Thursday also. (who's going? since they have meeting)
4) Book Selling stuffs.... shall not elaborate.

SME looks neat at a glance well done QMs... BUT the fridge is in a MESS! Whoever reading my blog (JUNIORS), go and clear it. AND start using my AIR FRESHERNER if not i bring home. hahah... not angry but emphasize on it.

waiting for 10.30am to go speech rehearsal with Ms Mary Chua.
waiting for lunch at KFC with my 25% discount coupon which i hope fana will remb to bring.
waiting for afternoon to try out the graduation robe.

And i'm drinking dis mineral water which have a weird taste in it from SME! Yucks!

9.45PM

Just reached home from shopping with Fana. Foot hurts for walking too much.

Tired... workaholic cum shopaholic. Need to change shopping habits haha... cos i spend alot without realising?

Bought my graduation gown, more spending to come cos i wanna get new high-heel shoes and black long pants. Haha...

Spent so much today... but i'm happy haha. at least i told my dad i gonna spend so much and he din nag at me, wells at least he sounds happy cos i told him i gonna receive award on tat day. =)

Tired tired. Tmr holiday. Gonna rot at home and rest.

Poor Rebecca. Haha... so much minutes to write. =P
The only flower amongst the thorns (i supposed) dont let them bully u haha.

Surprise Surprise!!!

DSTA sent me a mail saying that I'm accepted for the Scholarship (provided i pass their secruity clearance and medical checkup) !!!!!!!!

haha happy happy~~~~

I'm so happy now. And my lappie will be back with me at 7pm! Double happiness haha.

Mail came abit too late cos I have already stated to NUS I will go for their scholarship interview haha.. now how?

I would not be rejecting DSTA's offer (since i wanted it so badly) and their dateline to reply to them is 5th May. NUS interview is on 29th April, I predict results will not come out so early, anyway tough competition which I'm not that capable to clinch and not really interested in.

ok... i shall do my medical checkup next week at my work place. Fana if you are looking at this, tell your mum haha.

now is 6.30pm. Hungry but mum not done with cooking.

Anyway Schedule for next week:

Monday: Work and work.
Tuesday: NUS interview at 9.30am? and work, work, work
Wednesday: Valedictorian Speech Practice with Ms Mary Chua and collecting gradution suit in the afternoon with a gang of friends.
Thurday: Work, work and work.
Friday: More work. Nothing's new, workaholic
Saturday: Any Outing?
Sunday: ?????

Lappie's back with me yeah! but like something's not right.

Just woke up from sleeping. I'm lacking of Sleep! Need to send some emails that's why I woke up... if not i'll just sleep my way through...

Opportunity Number 2

9:19 PM

Opportunity Number 2

NUS has called me for an interview on 29th April Tuesday morning for Faculty Scholarship or Faculty Award.

It's a second chance for me since i think i failed DSTA interview. Not putting much hope on this interview haha... reason very simple: it's a bondless scholarship which means it will be very competitive.

But i think i will have more confidence in myself after the possible first failure!!! haha.

One opportunity door closed and another opportunity door opens. Hope it's a good sign. was abt to apply for air force when i saw NUS email. wells will apply after the NUS interview.

Came back from TP, from book selling. it's a peaceful day and hope it continues thru the 2 weeks. Tired tired. Reach sch at 8am to do book selling opening, left sch at
10am to rush off to work until 5pm then rush back to sch again to do closing.

tmr's another tiring day. Morning do book selling from 8am to 1pm, Farhan will take over at 1pm and Fana i dunno wad time. Then it's lunch and time to rush down to work until 9pm.

Abnormal work load. Sounds ridiculous but it's already half of wad i did for the past one year. I'm quite free, less busy as before.

typical workaholic.

alot of new things i wanna do and try. =) experimenting time!!

Growing Old

11:12 PM

Growing Old...

I think i getting old or I getting tired of being hyper le. Went back TP after CAAS exam with Fana and went to the Sport Complex for the Sports Olympiad.

ENG Spirit is back. Loud cheers with willing to participate students haha. But i wasnt hyped up. The feeling is back!

when i first came into TP with Fana, we actually said we din wan to join CCA cos tired of being hyper students - 4years of NPCC. In the end, we still end up in SME. haha. SO IRONIC.

Now this phase has ended. back to the times when i got tired of being hyper student. Can no longer be so active. Need a break soon.

Maybe when i get into NUS, my hyper-ness will come back since it's still another 4months before sch starts. Maybe during the orientation, i'll be back in my form. No one knows.

wun be saying "i wun join a CCA" when i get into NUS. Becos Miss Toh Qin Jun already "forced" me to join NUS-NPCC liao. haha thus i wun break tat promise unless she breaks it. HAHA. Qin Jun be happy hor cos i said i will go with u if u wan.

Time to go back to somewhere it really feels like home where all those innocent yet stupid memories exist.

Memories tat revolve around Miss Toh. HAHA. Bullying days are back (even though lijuan is promoting bully-free environment in TK, u r the exception!)

7years oh 7years.... it's been 7years since i know fana and qin jun. And i still see them very very often (fana - rhetorical fact)

Jus came back from Seoul Garden with Fana and Qin Jun. Spent $88.20!! haha so ex.
Supposed to be my bdae treat but i ended up paying for all. HAHA.... it's okie, at least we had fun and fun being aunties shopping at the Fila Sale! haha...

Qin Jun - happy studying and all the best for ur exams! pls dun forget ur exam timetable haha... (28april - 7may) I dunno when but ya study hard. After ur exams we can start planning and preparing for Japan trip YEAH!!!

AND pls do something abt ur internet.... it's so irritating!!

Mixed Feelings

3:00 AM

11.30am

Just reached home from DSTA Interview... and i think i din do well. An interview tat lasted only 10min (i think lesser than 10mins, i dunno...)

if i din get thru, i tink i know why. 2 fatal questions...

1st fatal qn:
if i'm given a chance to study at overseas uni, will i go? (note: i only applied for NUS and NTU)

my answer... a definite no cos of some reason. but if i'm given a chance to go for overseas student exchange programme (last only 1year) i will definitely go.

Fatal ah fatal... cos all their scholars go top overseas uni... wad to do. i was surrounded by top students from top JCs during these interviews.

Inferior? I guess so.

2nd fatal qn:
Is mathematics my strongest subject?

I was stunted. Stunted not because it isnt my strongest subject but because there wasnt confidence to say yes. The reality is... poly maths can never compare to JC maths. Especially in these kind of interview where 99% are top JC students. And especially when I dropped Higher Engineering Maths.

I really dunno wad LuKai's brain is made of... scoring an A in Hmaths, a GPA of 3.98and involved in sports and E2 Matrix. -.-"

I tink it's time for them to revise Hmaths schedule. Madness 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of tutorial cramped all together (tat was my schedule) and a chapter per lecture when we still have to meet project report datelines, our normal studies (and SME work).

aiya... i dunno i writing all these to blame myself or wad. To blame myself i dun even know blaming myself for wad reasons.

3years back, if i had jus continued on at MJC... i will definitely fail GP. Now i have graduated from TP, no regrets still... but jus plain inferior when i went for this DSTA interviews.

Pinned all my hopes and dreams on DSTA interviews... jus hoped the results come back soon. At least if i failed, let me know early and quickly den at least my heart can move on with life.

Hoping for the best, hoping i can get the scholarship. DSTA and SAF Local Study Award were the only ones tat i hoped i can cliched.

sadness.

din tell my mum cos i dunno wad to say. dad tonight confirm will ask abt it cos he called home during my last interview to ask how did i fare. first time in my life he is actually concerned.

Something new to me. Cos they din even wanted to attend my graduation ceremony next month. Din even wanted to see me receive the award cos they find these ceremonies to boring. Had to force them to attend, booked them a month ago. Irony rite?

Untypical Singaporean parents.

becoming less worried over such things.

all i hope is to receive good news from DSTA soon. The fast the better. I wan to get it over and done with.

TIRED DAY~

6:05 PM

let's talk abt today....

DSTA Scholarship Assessment

early morning woke up just to have breakfast and rush down to DSTA at Science Park Drive for the assessment at 8.30am, luckily my dad send me or else ..... -.-"

The assessment was bloody torturous.... because it lasted for 3hrs 30min!!! There were some fun parts though.

Assessment was divided into 3 sections.
1) Analysis Exercise - 10 fake emails which relates to DSTA and I have to read through, think and reply with suggestions and solutions (kills my brain cells)

2) Role playing - Do a short role play with a DSTA personnel regarding some issues. My role playing personnel really 手下无情啊！She is so fierce. -.-"

3) Presentation - Do a short 5min presentation with only a 10min thinking and writing time.
Woo~ I love this cos I picked a Qn that I loved. haha i'm so lucky!
Qn: What triggered my interests in Science and Engineering? How and what will I do to make
it into a reality?

I think I did my best for the assessment. Oh wells let's wait for a week and see if I get through and to the next round.

Moving on to the happy celebration over the weekend that had just past!

5th April 2008

5 April was the National Campcraft Competition which both our TK guys and girls got into. Woke up so early in the morning just to go to TK (7am reach liao lor) but our bus left TK only at 8plus... -.-" should have just gone late.

Competition went on as ususal... den wait for results to be out.... sun was so hot that none of us can tahan and we end up at the building's stairway, getting shade.

What's more exciting is when the results were released.... and TK guys and girls really did us proud! With the guys awarded with 5th position and the girls clinching CHAMPION out of 100 over schools!!!

TK Flag will always fly HIGH~~~~

After so much joy and happiness, we headed back to TK for the 10years Campcraft Celebration! Cant imagine it's been 10years already....

Me and joanne with TK Flag.

Campcraft Team 2004

Eh... I feel so old already.....

HAHA...

Our 10 year Legacy

People I haven seen in years?

Celebration was simple yet meaningful, with video showing, speech by OC and the principle and meeting people we haven seen in years.....

Before me, fana and Qin Jun left TK, we took this photo just becos of the shirt. Spot the Diff!

The front part of Qin Jun's shirt looks ugly haha.... BUT look at the back design! OMG.... it looks like a duplicate and she hand drew it using fabric paint!

Avi said it's an "A" for effort but i would give u an "A+" for determination and a "F" for losing the orginal campcraft shirt! haha....

Saturday was fun.... cant wait for next saturday.... my belated birthday Seoul Garden Treat by Qin Jun and Fana.... YEAH!
