End of 2009 is coming...................

Another year is coming to an end. It's been a long year of 2009, isn't it? 2009 is coming to an end in less than 48 hours. It is the time of the year where we can reflect upon the whole year's events and happenings as we conclude what had we done. As 2009 ends, we start to think of what we should do for the brand new year. Anyway, before doing so, i should so how summarise and conclude my 2009.
For 2009, first half of the year, i was still serving the remainder of my NSF life. It was almost the end of my army life and for the first few months of the year, i was busy preparing for the evaulation of what aims to conclude what have i learn in army for the past 2 years. First few months was busy with outfields, breaks in between, victory challenges in preparation for the final evaluation of the unit i been in the past 2 years. By the end of march, when the evaluation ended, it marks the end of my army life. Though not really the end cause i ORD in june but it is significant as we showed the evaluators what we had learned as a unit, company, platoon and section with our buddies in the past 2 years and things were concluded. From april, i was clearing offs and leaves as i was going to ORD. In april, i was also granted admission in poly for the diploma of food science and technology and started studying in Singapore polytechnic. While managing the remainder of my army life with school, before i eventually ORD in mid june and got back my pink ic. The feeling is great as i converted back to being a full time civillian and student.

After june, i started a new lease of my life after NS. Took my first major exam after two and a half years since i graduated from ITE in 2007 and it was in singapore polytechnic in mid august and i pass the 4 modules exams i taken from april this year. Not too bad a start for me in poly, though i was a bit shell-shocked in the start of my first semester but after a while, i thought i had the momentum and after the exams in august, i decided to enjoy the 2 months plus of holidays as i had not trully enjoyed the holidays during my 2 years in NS. Enjoy the life of being a student to the fullest during the period of time.That holidays also signalled the end of my first semester in singapore poly.

So from mid oct, i started my 2nd semester in singapore poly, and still in the 2nd semester till now. I thought most of the second semester lecturers suck, so i thought i was struggling quite a bit in this semester i guess. Anyway, i ended term 1 of this semester feeling pretty scared as i took the mid semester test before the holidays started and felt that i failed 2 papers out of the 4 papers. Anyway, now it is up to the second term of this semester which starts next year, I guess i have to work harder till the exams for this semester in end of feb next year.

Overall i thought i will end 2009, feeling happy as i would pass my first semester with accepting results as a student again after my NS life and the hard work i still put in this semester and still have a chance to produce results for next feb's semesteral exams.

One mad starting week to the holidays..............

It's been a mad, crazy and wild week for the start of the holidays for me. I been out almost everyday from monday last week. Only last tuesday i did not go out. Anyway, last week, i got to go sentosa with my poly friends, do projects, meet cousin, meet sec friends and ite friends. The breakout from the rest of the normal events was a trip to the club for one of my sec friend's birthday celebration. It was the first time for me. Anyway, nothing much that i would like in the club though but with friends, it is still great time spent together.
Been coughing and having sore throat these few days though, the conditions seem to go off and on. I guess i am lucky enough to survive the week with only cough and sore throat and nothing more serious. Hope that i will recover as soon as possible.
Today i finally had the time to rest at home as i do not have anything for the day. Guess i will be starting out the formal report later after lunch and hope i will have it done before the holidays end. This week should not be as taxing as last week though. But my group hope to complete another project by this week.
Anyway, let's hope that most of my school work can be completed before the holidays end next year. Will try to update more, getting lazy already!! Haha!!

Holidays with a lot of sch work in it...........

Finally, the holidays are here and i am back to being relaxed and free. Anyway, we should enjoy the holidays as it is the time for students like us to enjoy. SP holidays are almost the same except after the sem exam i guess. A lot of things for me to do during this holidays i guess. Hope can finish the sch things asap. It's December already, and the main events passed so far for me, is the ite reunion which was last friday where i went. Photos taken, but nothing much as we got the time to catch up and see each other after a long time. I would say a great time spent altogether. Nothing much as that as it was my MST week. After the test, 2 days ago, some of my classmates and i went to the kbox in jurong safra to enjoy, relax and celebrate the start of the holidays. It is good that my poly friends and i are spending more time with each other as after we graduate, most of us i would say, will be heading off in different directions lol. Anyway, it is good time spent as i always say when i get to hang out with all my different groups of friends. Next week, we will be having another gathering at sentosa with my poly friends. So looking forward to it! As for today, i will be going out dinner with my army friends later in the evening.Tomo i also having another gathering with another group of army friends before the night where i will be heading back school for the bursary presentation. Holidays started with a blast for me i guess, think i will be able to enjoy this holidays by balancing school work and playing. Really loving it!!!Hoooooo!!!!!
