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!!!!!!
