Reflections for ITE years(Part 1)

Ok, it is time to do a conclusion and summary on the 2 years in ite. I guess not really 2 years after minus out the holidays as i entered the course officially at 20th june 2005. Anyway, in year 1 of the course, for the first term, i was working and studying at the same time so actually didn't get to know friends in ite, though i have my group of friends in ite but we were not that close, just ordinary friends i guess. I think first term is sort of my 'no' life days in ite as i didn't really get to know my ite friends well and i was like a machine working and studying at the same time with rest time limited. Once second term starts, i decided to quit my job as i really felt it is too much for me to cope already. From then on, i guess my ite life around with friends really started. As that time, a lot of things happen like one of them leave for poly, another one left for a relationship as time goes by, leaving actually a group of four including me, to 2 of us in the end. For the second term, i got to know him as we went out a lot of times and share problems together. For this friend, he really change me and some of my thinking as well. Anyway, he broke a few of my first times, like singing songs, travelling to KL, eating sakae sushi and a lot more. Anyway, i guess i spent the most throughout my life in ite. Actually i have to admit all these spent is worthwhile as these are some of the things that bring us together as good friends. I can say it is the turning point of my ite life i guess and maybe including my whole life till now. So this friendship till now is still there, as i guess we really treasure it as the age gap between us is quite big and not easy for us to forge the bond. So this friend accompany throughout the second and third terms, we can say we went through quite a lot of good and bad times i guess. But in the middle of the second term, a couple joined the two of us and we were like a group since then and following that a girl joined too which were 5 of us as a group then. Anyway, these 5-person group lasted for the second and third terms and sometimes we will go out after school as a group to different places like bugis, suntec city, rivervale mall and etc. But sometimes the girl will not followed us, so sometimes it is only the 4 of us together but in sch eating lunch will be the 5 of us eating together. These are also some of the wonderful memories from the second and third terms. Ok, for the last term with QC and lifeskills only, my good friend went for the GEP program in Hong Kong from 14 oct-16dec for 2 months and my life in ite changes again. Anyway, he started his classes on the same day as us in singapore which is 16 oct 2006. Yah, i went back to school so i went back to the same group of friends except without him. Anyway, sometimes i am alone with the couple as the girl go join other groups for lunch. Anyway, in the last term, seems like passing so fast as there is only 6 weeks of studying before IA starts. During this term, my IA which is the GEP program had been discussed through the last few weeks of QC.For this, actually only 4 persons were in this program which is 3 girls and me. But due to some management problems, the course manager decided to get another person to join the Beijing GEP group. The last person that joined in is another guy because he is the only person that applied for the GEP program which was open up last minute by our course manager. So after the QC term finish, the GEP Beijing students started doing school project first for the first week of IA as we are going to Bejing to do our IA only from the second week of IA(4 Dec 2006). So actually before this, the project we were attached to had also been discuss during the QC term and we were co-leaders as appointed in the various school project. I was attached to the algae group for the first week of my IA. Then after that, from the second week onwards, we were in Beijing doing our 2 months of IA till 8 feb 2007. This 2 months story was told in my previous blogs posted so i needn't explain so much. Anyway, i learnt quite a bit out of the 2 months attachment in Beijing. After that, i return to singapore to continue my IA in the school project actually but we were told to do QC practicals and tests, besides that we still have to do our GEP presentations slides within the few remaining weeks of our IA so we didn't help out much in the school project. So the last month in the school project for our IA, we focus more on our assignments given by our LO. After this, i completed my studies already.
So the above, summarise most of the events that happened in my ITE life in College East(Simei).
For Part 2 of reflections ITE: i will summarise more on my thoughts of this course i been through.
Stay tuned!!!!!!

Last Official Day in School

Today is my last official day in school. Went to school as usual, met ah kiong, calvin and li jin in the morning as calvin wanted to have breakfast in school. I reached the earliest this morning, a surprise to me, anyway i reach at 7.25am, after that is ah kiong reaching at 7.35am, the lastest is Lijin and calvin reaching 4 buses after me which is around 8am which is due to this reason we did not have a proper breakfast and just grab a bite and bought a bread to eat before going up to the LT 5 for the session with ms lee, dr yeo, mr din talking abt the graduation. That talk finish at abt 10.15am. The program after that is the taking of photos of my class. We assembled at abt 11am and my class finished the photo-taking abt 11.40am. The order is S,P,R,Q. After that, our class had a sort of class photo where we throw our lab coats in the air. After that. we went to C1 where i sat down with Lijin and calvin, and waited for ah kiong as he talked to ms lee. I then had lunch before going up to observe our practical 16 results with my GEP group. As we waited for ms lee to finish talking to her class including Zhen wei, we decided to ask ms lee when will she be free to attend to us. Anyway, she ask us to find ms vini to read the results for us. After that, it is abt 2.30pm where we decided to take photos with ms lee and all the GEP students. The last thing i did in school is waiting for ah kiong after his brass presentation which started after the photo-taking with the GEP students. i waited for abt 2 hours until abt 5pm before his presentation finish and he came down to look for me. It is then we went to meet lijin and calvin in orchard. That's the last official day in school.

Views of my Blog...........

Oh, i found out today my blog is actually very popular and will get more popular cause jane and kelly just promoted it today in school. Esp. jane who had promoted it from the moment i reach school. I thank you a lot for your 'wonderful' help ah. Anyway, abt the love life i mentioned in this blog is private and confidential, so i guess only people i mentioned before will know abt it. Jane, the answer to your question and curiosity, it is for you to find out and for me to know. Guess maybe i will tell when the time is right, if the time is right!!! Or maybe you will not know at all.
Ok, back to school life for today. I was so bored thoughout the whole day doing nothing. Anyway, guess this whole week will be the same cause my project had stopped from last week and this week is the final week in school with me graduating very soon.

Graduating Soon in the final week now........

Principal's presentation set on the 15 march 2007, next thursday. Though finish the slides, the problem will be what to say. Anyway, my slides for the group will be mostly pictures and i guess need to think of the things i am going to say. Just be easy i guess, just that maybe will be nervous on that day of presentation. Anyway, that's school. School will be over after this day of presentation as all the things are done. After school is over, i guess i will be a wondering soul again. The next thing will be poly admissions i guess, first objective for me after ite. If sucessfully will be going to Singapore poly in april. If not, will be waiting for NS letter, to go in NS and start working after that. It's up to Fate now. I really hope that i will make it to poly. Sometimes wondering what is love, it been from secondary, failures all the while i guess. This year will be 20 years old already, now ite life is ending, love has never bloom for me, i guess it is a sad thing for me. My class in ite have the most couples of up to 5. So envy of the couples sometimes! Anyway, the recent couple seems to have met problems so early in the beginning. Actually, i am quite concerned over this. People should know the reason if good friends with me.
Should be happy or sad abt this problem between them? Anyway, thoughts of mine flying everywhere.
This is what i feel for this week, i guess all these will last quite some time. Esp. the love part i guess.

Another long time since updated........

Finally, formal presentation is over on monday 5th march. Quite relax a bit i guess. Our presentation sucks actually cause we were like so last minute with no team spirit entering to the place of presentation. Our lack of team spirit and work were so obvious as told by one of my teachers in our presentation. Anyway, modifying our presentation slides for the principal. Today just finish doing the slides BUT i still feel like the presentation we can still do better. Anyway, not thinking too much, at least it is done i guess. I don't pinned any high hopes already. Ok, love in ite is over for me. It is time for me to leave things as usual now. Though disappointed, life's goes on. Don't know when will i get over. Anyway, things should get better as i am graduating soon in another 1 week. Let's see how the future of my love life will be, when will my fate come?
Ok, till then!!!!
