It's been 2 months since i updated.............

Since my birthday, i started my 2nd year in SP, the very next day. Anyway, year 2 subjects are supposed to be harder than year 1 module. What i feel after term 1 of year 2, the modules which are harder appears to be biochemistry and Process instrumentation(PI). Luckily for me, biochemistry is a module without exam BUT there is a big 40% test coming up after these 2 weeks of holidays. I have to try my best to do well, then can slack for the rest of the semester i hope. Unfortunately for PI, it is the hardest module for the semester with the exam which is like maths which is 60% of the whole module. I wondering whether can i pass the particular module. Anyway, shall try my best to at least pass the module. As for the MST papers last week, i feel good for all the papers except for PI, i guess luckily it is only 10%. The main thing for PI, is to pass the exams so that you can naturally pass the module. I guess my main aim for year 2 and finally when i graduate is to have a GPA of at least 3. It is a goal i will try very best to attain throughout my education in SP. It might be very difficult at this stage though BUT it is worth a try for a pretty cert.

Talking abt a pretty cert, i join a CCA this year to get CCA points which will make my cert look better. I joined SP civil defence club with a few of my classmates. I guess it will be more fun with classmates you know inside the club too. Going to have a camp next week, it's been 5-6 years since i last had a CCA camp. Don't know the feeling to camp anymore i guess. Anyway, hope i will enjoy the funny things they had organised for us and also to have great fun.

So besides, the CCA camp i having in these 2 weeks of holidays will be a family chalet during father's day weekend which happens this weekday. This 2 activities will be fun i guess BUT besides that, i got tonnes of school work to complete also. This is some sch holidays for me huh?
Anyway, the list of school work includes: A powerpoint presentation, 2 individual formal reports, PI, food chemistry and food preservation datasheets, food chemistry group assignment report and biochemistry test to study for. These list of 8 things to complete in the holidays, it is a lot to complete in 14 days where i have to work on both saturdays with the camp and chalet thing. My time very limited and i have not even started on a single one of them. I need to start later, i guess i will spent the rest of today doing whatever i can i guess.

Work, Coming birthday. Then after is sch reopens......

It is coming to mid april already and it is last week that i started working officially in universal studios in Revenge of the Mummy which is a dark indoor roller coaster ride. Last week, my first week of working, the schedule was 5 days for me. Tiring though but i thought i earn and learn quite a lot. For the second week which is this week, i was planned to work on only 1 day which is yesterday where i got signed off by my team manager which means from yesterday afternoon, i will be allowed to work alone in the different stations. It may be a good thing or a bad thing. I sure hope it is a good thing though. Anyway, i guess i will be able to rest, wait for my birthday weekend and school reopens which is on this coming monday. Not earning much this week though, only 1 day. Anyway, yesterday also marks the last weekday i will be working for now as school is reopening and next week onwards i will be working only sat i guess. Together, 6 days of working in universal and i get abt $450 of pay liao. I guess the pay is not too bad ba. Haha!!

I guess it is enough about work though. Work had been stopped for this week as 1 more important event is coming this weekend which is my birthday, actual day on a sunday. Will be heading to universal studios with some ite friends to enjoy the day there. Hope it will be a great day. Saturday i will be leaving the day free for celebration from my other groups of friends, so far nothing, so i will be hoping to hear from my other groups of friends. Some say before, but nothing is confirm till now. Anyway, certainly hope it will be a weekend to be remember though. So looking forward to this weekend!! Hoo!!!!

As for things after the weekend which is from monday, i will be heading back to school to start my second year in singapore poly. It's been long holidays i guess. Anyway, my earnings in this holidays are not too bad and certainly it's been a great holiday. Therefore, it is time to get the engine running and it is for me to get back in studying mode after a long relax mode in the holidays. Haha!!!

Starting work soon..............

I guess after 1 month holiday from school, i finally got myself a job as a ride operator in universal studios singapore. Will be starting the job officially tomo, Revenge of the mummy which is a indoor roller coaster ride. Feeling a bit nervous though as it is been a long time since i work, almost like 3 years or so. I guess may not be facing the crowd as soon as i will need to complete so on the job training first. I will be working on tues, wed, thur, sat and sunday this week. It is 5 days lol! A bit sian though. Anyway, i hope i will be able to adapt back to working life as soon as possible ba.With the holidays ending in 2 weeks, work in universal studios will be confined to weekends and public holidays only. Anyway, i will need to submit my new availability form for work tomo when i start i guess.

Holidays ending also means 1 thing is coming which is my birthday, the last day of sch holidays for this year. I guess will be still going to universal studios on my birthday, it will be by far the most expensive birthday i will spend and should be the first time, my birthday will be so expensive. Anyway, hope it will be a well spent day at USS in sentosa ba!!! After all, it is my birthday. Any surprises this year? I don know i guess. Looking forward to it though!!!!!!

It's been quite a long school holiday i guess. Anyway, we are coming to an end of it as school is starting in 2 weeks. Just found out abt my timetable for the new semester, i guess it is something that i expected as an SP student. Since the timetable is out, i guess i will be choosing my GEMs module either on a tuesday morning or friday afternoon as i will be finishing at 6pm during both of the days so might as well put the timeslot to good use then.

Will update again!! Stayed tuned guys!!!!!!

Boring days beginning in this holidays for me......

Holidays had started and this is almost the end of the 2nd week of holidays for me. Holidays are getting bored as i don't have any activities for the next month of the holidays till it ends. Officially i will have the next 10 days free and after that i will start work 29 march 09 in resort world sentosa. Actually looking forward to work and earn some cash before the holidays end i guess.

But before work comes, it is the release of my semester 2 exam results next Wednesday on the 24th march. Not really looking forward though, but trying to spend my holidays happily before the results are released. I hope i would be as happy after the release of the results. Nevertheless, i thought i already tried my best and the rest will be up to fate and luck i guess

I will start work officially on 29 march and it is a 3-day training for me at the HQ of resort world sentosa which is near jurong east. I guess have to wake up really early as i will need to report by 8.30am during the 3 training days. It's been a long time since i last work, 3 years that is!! Haha, wonder what it would be like working!! Looks like i have lost the feeling!

Enough talk abt work i guess, the next big thing for this year is my 23rd birthday coming up before the end of my holidays which is also the last day of my poly holidays. Looking forward i guess cause it is a trip to universal studios theme park. It will be the first time i am going to spend a lot of money on my own birthday i guess. Another first i guess, didn't know i have so many things i have not done in my life yet huh!! Haha!!!!

2 months since i last blog.....................

Quite a lot of things had happen till the long break since i blogged last. Anyway, with the new year looming in, then CNY in feb before my semester exams after that!!! I been busy and a bit lazy to blog i guess. Now is already the second week of my holidays after my end of the exams of my first year in the SP, i will be going to the second year of my poly studies le. I hope i had done good enough for me to progress to the second year without any forward modules ba. I really am praying hard as i want to start working after 2 more years in poly as my father is getting old. It is almost time, i start supporting the family i guess. Anyway, i look forward in these last 2 years of me being a student and certainly going to enjoy life to the fullest.

Ya, i going to start working after a long break from my working life before my enlistment which dates back from may 2007. It's been 3 years plus since i last work. Hope that i can adapt back to that kind of life i guess.

So far, it's been a great holidays with class chalet which just passed from last tuesday till last thursday. It is a rather unique experience for 10+ of us squeezing in a small chalet room meant for actually just 4 persons. It rather a hotel room compared to a chalet where amenities were limited. Anyway, a lot of bonding were done for half the class that turned up for this chalet. That is one of the advantages in the small, squeezy chalet room i guess. I hope all of us who turned up had a great time during the short stay there in coasta sands downtown east.

Nothing much for now, i certain to work soon i guess. Holidays should pass in a breeze once i start working at universal studios ba. Good luck for myself!!! Hoo!!!!

Exams coming in a month....................

Exams dates and times are out as i found out yesterday nite. Anyway, this past week in school was normal with me except having a formal presentation on Thursday morning with formal attire and wearing it for the whole day in school including during afternoon's last microbiology practical and also the last practical for this entire semester which my classmates thought i looked like a doctor throughout the practical session. It was my first time wearing a whole set of formal wear which included leather shoes, long sleeve shirt, pants and belt. I bought it all from G2000 except the leather shoes which was from BATA. Actually i thought it was quite nice wearing the set of formal wear, just a bit uncomfortable in it only.

Abt the formal presentation that we had done that thursday, i thought i was the lousiest presenter among my groupmates. Anyway, i have a bad feeling that i would get a 'D' grade for the report writing module this semester. 1 presentation down and 3 more coming up! It seems like we have more presentations for this semester as compared to the first sem. This reminds me of how i hate presentations as i know, most of the time i wouldn't do well for presentations. Next presentation is on next tuesday, hope i can do my best for this last presentation for this IDEA module.

The recent events happening around me are all but school, i guess i had been busy with school work since the start of the year and not really having any fun. But i should look forward to CNY first for the small break and a bit of fun before the exams i guess!! Hope i can enjoy chinese new year then!!!

2010's first blog post

Just realized i did not write any blog post since last year. Anyway, this is a new year 2010 and it's been 2 weeks since the school started. School started off with stress gaining at a fast pace. From next week, i am left with 4 more presentations/projects for the different modules and a formal report to do. The hardest being the report as it is going to be done by myself. Anyway, the term is a very short one with tonnes of work to be done before the exams which takes place after CNY. It is going to be a sad CNY this year as the thought of exams after that is a 'bored' kind of feeling. Anyway, it is not easy being an SP student.

Let's talk abt the passing week where i spent everyday with my group of poly friends doing project after school. Although today is a saturday, i also went back school to finish up the maths project. I guess the upcoming week will also be staying back after sch to continue finishing up the rest of the different assignments/projects/presentations. Life as a SP student huh!!!!

New year resolutions for the year 2010, till now i never really seriously thought of any yet. I will come up with it now i guess. For the first one, to keep myself as healthy and fit for my NS reservist at the end of the year. Second one, this resolution had been in my mind for a few years now, finding love, will I finally fulfill this wish this year? I certainly hope so. Third, hope i can pass my exams with better results in feb to end my first year of poly on a high note and start my 2nd year of poly brightly. I guess that's the most important three for the whole year i am going to try to achieve. As time goes by, i guess i will continue to add to what i am going to achieve for the year.
