its been eons since i last typed something here. was really busy with school and exams till...2 weeks plus ago and was lazy till now.
results were out last friday. grades weren't up to my expectations but who else have i got to blame? i need to take a dose of contentment.
having been through 16months of intensive studying, i finally realized that its not easy to get a degree. the journey was indeed tedious and tough but i'm glad it's over. i have seen pretty much in the past 16months; people with various expectations, different attitudes and goals in life.
i really appreciate the encouragement of certain people, because without them, i won't be able to complete my degree successfully. i need to say a big thank you to my parents. they gave me the go ahead to take this degree without any hesitation. they don't expect me to pay them back because they told me that so long as i put in effort, i want to study, they will support me. mum provided me with bottles and bowls of bird's nest and chicken essence while dad listened to and gave me advices while i whined and complained. he cut fruits for me and even sent them to my room, gave me vitamins everyday and told me that so long as i put in effort in things i do, its enough.
thank you my dearest bf. thank you for listening to my nonsense, non-stop whines and complaints. and for printing my projects after projects for me. for binding and delivering projects to me. for your encouragement. i know he did not know what exactly was i frustrated about but he still listened. :)
thank you my group of friends. you know who you are. also for gossiping with me, to listen to my frustrations. and for being understanding, wishing me good luck in my exams etc. thank you dearest gf, yh, sah, jas, gene. :)
it's finally over! =D
and its time for me to take a break before i embark on the next journey of my life, to meet my own goals.
it seems that i'm not ready to embark into the working society. its indeed a paradox. on one hand, my parents told me to take my time to search for a job i desire, while on the other, everyone has been asking me if i got any job yet. i'm not one who can sit at home for months after months because i want to meet the expectations i have of myself. yet, i have got so many things i want to do. i have got to tidy up my super messy table and drawers (time to clear away stacks of notes and books!) and i want to watch dramas, read storybooks, plan both bf's and my birthdays and the December holiday with my family. if i get a job anytime soon, i wont be able to complete so much. and of course, i don't expect to get leave for december. what should i do.
and because of what my parents suggested, i called to reject 3 job interviews, went for 1 and am now at a loss. one of my uncle has been really anxious for me as well. he gave me suggestions as to where to search for jobs since months ago. and although my parents told me to take my time, i feel that mum irks the sight of me at home. yes, i do feel bad cause i'm so lazy to lift my finger to help with the housework, and lazy to tidy my own stuff. and i ought to be scolded.
it's been years since i'm in such a loss. i hate it when i have no directions. dad helped me with such a situation years ago after O levels. i was in a dilemma, a total loss then too. to decide between JC or poly. and dad "forced" me to choose poly. and i'm so glad i heeded his advice after some struggles.
i need my sense of direction soon...

I feel so down. Cause school reopened 2 days ago. And project meeting starts tomorrow. For the past few trimesters, we were able to slack for at least 2 weeks before all the projects' meetings started. But this time round, we can't. Cause the workload is scary. Damn scary. My brain cells died after the tedious analysis of projects, studying for exams and i don't know how am i going to cope this time round.
It doesnt help when my friends just started holidays, doesnt help when love is on 2 weeks' of block leave after his commissioning parade, doesnt help at all. Just 3months plus to go, that's what everyone tells me. Yes, 3 months plus of stress and hardwork before i can graduate. I can't wait.

It's been ages since i last blogged. Was busy with school. It was indeed a very tedious trimester. Completed 1 individual rpt, 1 group rpt, 1 ppt for ahrp; 3 written analyses, 1 major rpt, 1 presentation for imc, 1 test for im, 2 ppt and 1 mjr rpt; and 3 exams in total. everything in about 3 months. and i wonder if it's a comfort or torture to have lecturers praising our projects to the moon yet scoring few marks above passing grade, telling us its the best grade ever.
and im so worried about results coming out on fri. 2 weeks of hols are not enough definitely...
attended birthdays, went partying, facials, tuitions, had kushinbo after 10million years of craving but it was not up to expectations. =(
i wonder what exactly does the word 'qualifications' mean? came across few people and incidents which made me ponder over this. and im still puzzled by it.
Such as this manager R working at Suntec's Sizzler, nurse and instructors at O B S, doctors of this C hospital, a lecturer of mine, mr blink of our country's _ force. Are they qualified to be in their positions? i was totally disgusted by ALL of their behaviours and i really wonder, who put them in their positions? Are they qualified enough to be there?
Incident no.1:
I had Sizzler some time back and my group of four was puzzled by why our neighbour was served a jug of drink which was not listed on the menu while we had glasses of the exact same drink. It was totally not worth the money thus we asked the waitress if we could change ours to a jug instead. She brought the manager after what seemed like forever and this manager actually bargained with us. He was unable to speak in proper English, had zero knowledge of service recovery and training skills. How can someone with zero customer service knowledge be a manager of the restaurant?
Incident no.2:
J had a knee-jerk during an expedition at O B S and the swell on the knee was more than evident. nurse cleared J and told him to continue with his kayaking the next day. J's knee was so painful and he went to see instructor and she said since nurse cleared, then he must go. Yes, kayak with a knee all swelled up. J's friends were all asking him not to go to the expedition as they have eyes to see that the injury was rather serious. And for those who had kayak experience, one should know that capsizing is very common. So J asked instructor what if the kayak capsize and she replied, "then don't capsize!" Qualified nurse/instructor?
"Each trainer is equipped with the skills and tools to ensure the safety of all participants". (Quoted from http://www.obs.pa.gov.sg/1145960592565/1150181215773.html) and i disagree with that sentence. So will they be compensating J with a proper knee if anything happens? Are they really well-trained? I certainly question that.
J was OOC, scored a big fat zero just because he had serious knee injury and missed the LAST expedition. J worked hard, took part in ALL activities for 12 consecutive days despite struggling due to the ache in the wisdom tooth and just because J missed 4 days. OUT J went.
Incident no.3:
L went to the A & E of C _ H and the doctor looked at L and told L not to "cao keng" as L was unable to stretch out the leg due to severe pain. Doc A told L not to drama and immediately gave 2 weeks' MC to L without further examination. No x-ray or medication. She fixed an appointment for him with specialist but that would be few weeks' later. Perhaps she wants to see L limping and aggrevate the injury further. Qualified?
I came across a friend's blog and her eye was so painful that she went to the same hospital. She told the nurses there that her eye was so painful and they asked her, "just tell me whatyou want?" she had an eye abrasion. Sometimes i wonder, do they behave this way because the patients are not their relatives and they do not give a damn about their survival?
Incident no.4:
Lecturer K is very experienced in his _ _ industry but teach? I saw his efforts in trying but it was a chore to classmates and i. We had no directions in exam and projects. And i wonder if i can pass this particular module.
2 trimesters ago, Lecturer S was horrid in his teaching as well. From my own opinion, i felt that S did not try at all but he was really good at scraping it through. Oh and after that, he disappeared with our projects' grades. Wow.
Incident no.5:
Mr blink of S _ F knows nothing about being impartial. Being in his position, having that rank on his shoulder, he is not concerned with others at all. He picks on people. He handles issues on subjective manner, not objective. I though people in his position in such a prestigious organization, he ought to treat people in a fair manner. I really don't want to pay taxes to pay such a person.
Qualifications? Tell me about it.

I can never concentrate on my projects and suddenly, i have the urge to blog a little here.
sometime last week was presentation 1 of IM and our group did pretty well. May the NP juice continue to flow.
and together with meiyi, we met siew cheng in bugis and had dinner at fish n co before we headed down to bali lane for drinks at coffee nation. yes, some beer at coffee nation. dont ask me why. photos are still on my hp and i dont upload pics from my hp usually...=X
i attended lesson on fri morning and it was a wasted trip. DRY and great lecturer made me sleepy. had lunch at cine foodcourt with classmates before shopping around a bit. i bought macarons for dearest and squashed it. great. met the gang for dinner at ehub and we headed to justin's place for mj. played till 1am or so before we headed home. first hour of V day was spent beside <3. =)
met him and we headed to PS to walk around. bought dvds as we intended to watch it in the night. i told baby ten thousands times NOT to buy me flowers as i had received enough from him the past few years. flowers die after few days and there's no end to comparisons. one stalk vs 1 bouquet of 5 vs 9 vs 12 vs 24 etc...list goes on so yes, no end to comparison and i told him NOT to spend too much on my present. we left PS for central and had dinner at sun with moon. outdoor seating was nice as the spore river was just behind. and he knows we love japanese cuisine.
i love salmon sashimi!
and silly boy got me...
diamond necklace from citigems which cost him almost all his month pay. silly boy. but i love it. thank you my love. dont ever spend so much again get it?!
and after dinner we walked down to cityhall and went back for wii. i still feel the ache on my right arm till today. and the dvds which we bought are still sitting somewhere. one day soon...
