Holidays

Well, the hols are here again, this time for a full 3 months for all uni students. Time to get a job? Maybe...'cos with my upcoming trip to DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea aka North Korea) from 25 May to 6 June, I don't think I find a job that will allow me to take leave for 2 weeks in between and if I start after that, it might be too short a duration...so if anyone got lobang can tell me? =)

Anyway, exams officially finished for me on 3 May 06. Marketing. It was a disaster, and despite spending like 4 days worth of revision on it, it didn't really help, nor the fact that it was open-book helped either. My mind blanked out and I spent more than an hour answering the 1st 30m question which I know my answers are really cocked up (I didn't draw any framwork..damn) So yeah... I regretted my choice this sem, and maybe I am not cut for business minor either...sigh

Info Lit was well, overprepared; pure regurgitation, with some time to spare...CS103...wrong guess, wrong focus, crapped my way through but pretty confident 'cos everyone did quite badly too, so average should be okay lar...CS105, cocked up the sampling plan but lots did too, so no worries as well, CS108 prepared but sort of blanked out too, despite knowing the topics to be tested but the ones I had many points to write about turned out to have the least mark weightage and vice versa, oh well...and CS106, best that I had only one afternoon to prepare for it. The exam schedule was really jammed up, with 108,105, and 106 consecutively on 3 days. Ended up studying till 1am, before waking up at 5am to continue...

And right after submitting the paper, I felt sick. The flu, sore throat set it by that very evening. And of course, I was in a holiday mood oredi..after heading to Orchard with the Sci Ctr gang after exams, ate lunch + ice cream, browsed Borders (yes, a new record for me for spending more than 30mins in a bookstore), talked cock at Burger King and laughing like nobody's business.

And then it was the 111 after-sem meet-up. Supper at Bedok 85, headed to Gelare at Siglap only to find it closed for renovation, then Coffee Club decided to take the bunch of laughing mess in. The fondue and mud-pie was really good...pics will be up soon (after I edit them) and it was crapping, bringing up old memories, laughing, laughing and more laughing..hahahaahhah

Point to add..zoo outing was fouled up once again...=(

Then went out to browse and shop with Sara and Kerin..interesting trip I would say 'cos I never thought I would step foot into ICON or Bugis Street...lolz...and not to forget the surprise I got...thanks Sara.

And with all that, I just couldn't "shou1 shi2 xing1 qing2" to actually get down to studying MB103, so I guess I deserved it..but I seriously hope the worse I get is a B even though that would already more or less ruin my GPA...

I have done quite okay for this sem, I guess. A to B+ for term papers and projects, doing either slight above or above average for quizzes and mid-terms, so I hope things will turn out really well for this sem, cos my aim is to get into that Dean's List for at least once and it will not be easy from year 2 onwards...

Yah...it's been a year in school. I have made more friends that I though I would, true friends to stand by with. I guess I made the right choice. This environment sort of suit me to a T, but I only hope that this does not separate me from my old friends (the small numbers of them which I won't want to lose). My yingxiang seniors once told me that from J1 to J2, I have opened up, became more cheerful and that changed after enlistment. I guess I have came full circle, more than a year after ORD; a year since my brother got married, and almost a year since I fractured my spine. And it's time to move on to a brighter future. (Mom just celebrated her birthday on Friday =p)

Thank you to all those who have been there for me all these while...
