Finally, I had learn parallel parking, but wasn't good.. knocked down a pole at the back... Instructor was very fierce and scolded harshly.. very sad... so had a few practice before ending the lesson.. tml still have an other lesson to go, have to chiong as many lesson as possible before 26 Nov..

Also went to Mickey's chalet after lesson, it was at the Arenda country Club, juz beside Downtown East.. it's fun.. we paly a few game but the game need to drink a lot fo water so feel kind of bloated after it and you have to earn toilet pass for you to go toilet.. kind of unny.. haha..

But we went back ealy (Karen, Qian Wen, Diana), cause tired while some other need to do report, FYP deadline is near, 14 Nov.. I still haven even start.. die liao..

*Nitez... have to sleep early if not tml dirivng cant focus.. pray hard toml wil be a smooth driving..

Today is so FUN.... Driving in the morning 1130 -1pm - had a few mistake here and there but manage to solve though still got some scolding from instructor.. haha..

He force to get more lesson (possible till 30, now is only like 15-17 lessons) if not, he will postpone my TP date if he find me not ready to pass on 1st attempt.. So now I have to chiong 3 lessons per week minimum, and intensevie cricut trainign duringhte last 3 day before TP (26 Nov).. Better pass on 1st attempt if not i think he will come after me...

Then when I'm back home, i did some baking.. Apple Muffin, using my new mixer.. it fun and easy.. it has been a long time since I bake...















Comment from tester: Nice (my family members & Aunty)

After baking, had to go for work from 6-10pm... it's boring, there wasn't much customer so I was practically doing nothing there.. but at least I earn $6*4 = $24, enough for tml charlet.....

*Nitez.. still have to study for tml driving lesson, will have spot check on theory if not cant move on with lesson.. Still have one missing component - horizontal parking.. sian...

Wake up early in the morning, went to polyclinic for my knee injury, too me 4hrs and more juz for consultation, X-Ray and refer letter to some hospitals.. On the way there I also drop by some clinics to do my FYP GP's Survey, but the doctors as usual, gave the same reason: too busy to do the survey when the clinic only have either 1-2 patient or maybe none...

The waiting time is really a killer.. all I can do is to listen to the music in my phone to let the time pass, cant go home since it is not worth the time to make trips.. The feeling to take an X-ray is werid, it's my first time so the feeling is funning and nervous... Juz lie down there and they will "twist & turn" your leg as I'm only required to X-ray my knee..

And you know what? my refer hospital appointment the earliest is in 1st Dec @ KKH while the other one is on 13th Jan 09 @ Changi General... I doubt I will make it for then.. hope I still remember..

So technically, I spend my whole day there, initally I have plan to do some making using thenew mixer I have bought using my own saving.. now the plan is gone and tml, I have to go for driving in the mronign while working at night..

Then at night I also accompany my bro to see our family doctor, to get MC coz he didn;t want to go sch the next day, have pan on.. So I mention my knee injury and the refer letter to my doc, he say the letter is sort of no use.. Coz the specialize will either recommend me to go for operation or cut down my weight.. my knee is gone, cant recover back.. Operation is to remove the "soft bone" and replace a artifical one in, by cutting down weight will help relief the burden so dun realy have to go to the extend of operation nad teraphy will only help temporary...

Shouldn't have gone to the extend, who can I blame, I should not have been so playful especially in my case; body already taking more then it can take or way pass the ideal standard... so sad now..

I want my knee back.. and I want o slim down.. HELP HELP HELP!!!!!! Who can help me????

On Sunday, after work my bro came to fetch me as we had arrange to go shopping together... As mention, there is 20% discount @ Kinokuniya for member only...

So we went to Taka, the orchard branch has more variety as compared to the Bugis mainly I suppose is the size of the store but the 3rd one juz behind The Central, we haven been there before so not tooo sure, the person say its bigger than Bugis's...

We spend about $60+, but most is by me cause my bro couldn't gethe book he wants but mamange to locate some at Bugis branch and make reserve so we decide to head there too since the 20% dicount is only for 2 day... Also went HMV to look for some CD, my bro's favourite..

So end up, we went took 175 to Bguis to get he remaining book, spend another $40-50+ there... it's damm shiok to get so many comics at one time... but to finish reading them only took me 1-2 days, but they realli addon to my collections, need to look for more space to keep them.. haha..

First time working at night, bcoz there is event " Halloween" so they need people at the counter to manage the crowd.. it so boring especially when they disable the MSN function of the only computer that has it initially...

But after the boring shift, went to block 85 with Rynette, long time never see her since the last time we had dinner together with Guo, about 3-4weeks ago.... Mari wasn't able to join us coz she juz had her dinner while Guo is at overseas training, Austral, where I will be going next year.. haha

We had (juz 2 girl): BBQ Stingray, Carrot Cake (black) & Chicken wings (5), Rynette also order a minced meat noodle, for me bcoz I had a packed dinner bfore we met so didn't order, of not I would have. Also bought some foods back for our precious brother, supper + dessert and we cab home (after 12 midnight so have additional surcharge)...

We talk a lot about relationship, and some about future.. haha.... anyway wont be spending my valentine and 20th Birthday in Singapore, it fine since I am still single..

okie.. going to sleep liao.. tml still have work, 9-1pm.. going out with bro to orchard to shop after that, there is 20% dicount at Kiynokuniya....

Nitez.. sweet dreams...

Ytd we had we had Jem.K (my mentor) for Structural Bio coz Jun. was sick but it was the first time I had him for lesson.. Before that only heard rumors about his facilitation style, so was not expecting much.. But after the lesson, I find him not back juz not as "chaty or spontenous" as others, he will still answer the question, guide you but there are more you need to do as your part....

After the lesson, we had a tedious UT " Bioinfo" there is onli 2 question but a lot of parts (a,b,c,d and e)... Right afte the UT, we chiong to sport complex for our sport day!!!!...

Attendance: Karen, Lucy, Esther, Tai^2, Jovina, Jeh Ni, Gold, Shah, Perry, Cheng Xi, Edwin, Ishak, Khai, Noor, Jing Ye, Ying Jun, Zubin, Mickey (cant remember much, so if anyone I miss out.. sry)

As usual, we played captain ball, basket ball, table tennis, babdminton and soccer. But mainly on captain ball so all genders can play.. This time rd I didn't join cause of knee problem fromt he previous game...

*Will upload the pix once I get it..."

There was also POL-ITE that day, so happend that it was RP vs. NYP but RP lose, 0 - 3 (Home ground) and after the match there was SP vs. ITE, didn't know the score coz we left already.. By then was about 9pm..

And karen wasn't happy that night.. coz it was the first day of release of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 - GRADUATION YEAR... she skipped school for that but bcoz of the popularity of the show, she didn't manage to get a good seat for both day & night (arrange to go for 7.25pm with her but the whole cinema was fuly booked)... really NICE, Ialso wanna watch but not soo soon, coz dun really like to watch with big crowd in the cinema, so will wait for about a week to 2 after relase.

Went for dinner at horizon with Esther,Gold, Cheng Xi, Mickey, (Sit together) Edwin, Ishak, Khai, Ying Jun, Perry , Zubin (different table coz not enough seat), till 10pm the closing time.. the other table went off first... we juz chit chat and have dinner + dessert togther... haha it so nice and fun for the last day of school after a tired day.. But a pit, Karen,Tai^2, Jovina,Jing Ye didn't join us, they went home first...

*this is ytd entery, was too tired to post..

It such a boring day.. Dunnoe why todae Big Mama wanna slipt up the topic so we did not need to do toooo much still each section have quite a far bit need to cover. ..

We had an hour session in the lab to examine "EAR"... it was FUN, we had a lot of playing with the "TOY", end up Big Mama told us to FOCUS on the topic, we were a little stray off.. haha but at least it keep us entertain....

And you know what... both Karen & I actually doze off during the 3rd meeting but was wake up by Jovia who is sitting in between us.... haha.. but was fuly awake when it's our turn (actually we should be the last team but because of time constrain, we were the 3rd team to present).

It a long day, Big Mama have a lot of question to ask, the 1st team took like 30-45min to finish presentation, if we haven rush, I suppose we will end like 430pm?

After the sleepy class, we still have Biomed UT waiting for us, change class to the next door... And the question pharsing is hard to interpret.. I think I ahve doen it wrongly, also worry about my calculation hope I haven waste Jia's (Faci) time for staying back to "revise" with me again yts after class.

Today the gals (Karen, Jovina, Tai^2) dun have FYP so can walk to interchange together, if not they would have disapear right after lesson, dun even have a chance to say "bye".. while Esther as usual, went to slack in the library waitng for her dad to fetch her home..... haha...

Tommorw is the last day of UT and the week, going to have our 1 week holiday.. Wonder how I wil spend it? Hope can go out with the gals (Karen, Jovina, Tai^2, Qian Wen, Diana & Esther) and other , maybe a buffet gathering or outing or movie...

Going to have Lab + UT + Sport day tml..

*Tired.. going to sleep liao.. Nitez... Pray hard for tml Bioinfo UT...

Though today's module is not difficult but I dunnoe why I juz cant seem to concentrate... I was think of sleep through out the day, I slept throughout my journey ot school and back home...

During class, to prevent myself from falling a sleep, I compile ppt. (need to have some focus point) and watch "Mulan", did not get to find the whole cartoon cause ahve FYP meeting...

Today's FYP meeting was with James, CO-PI. It's the 1st meeting with him, have quality feedback and learn a few poitn from him on how to imrpove our survey.. Didn't know he was our CO-PI then during G301 since he was our assessor, he mention during that time it was really offical but now, he is PI in training. Wonder if he will be our assessor this time round? He also mention giving our team "A" during G301, so goood... Wonder who will be our assessor this round, and how our grade wil be like?

My LogBook still not done yet... Report haven start, dunnoe how to go about so waiting for Nan's & Sab's report to be up, use theirs as my skeleton... Boring, every time Nan is chasing after me to get my surveys and logbook done, in progress to meet up withthe expectation... Hiaz... Deadline for report submission: 14Nov 2008

*zzz zzz Good Nitez... Decline Sab's offer to drive me to school so have to wake up early to go school, need my beauty sleep if not later complexion not nice.. No figure at least need to have complexion.. haha...

Today is my first time getting a ride to school by friend. Sab juz got her licence and car not long ago, and she is driving to school todae, that is so cool.. The journey was smooth and her car is cute + comfortable.. Also got a ride home, but to her house coz we decide to do some GP survey around her area but the GP wasn't co-operative, only 1 maybe helping (left the survey form there, collect tml).

I have found a secret blog, can read some screte entry of karen, wanna also learn from her to set lock.. And I wan t to watch "Sing to the Dawn", "High School Muscial 3 - Graduation Year", "The Coffin" and I think stil have some other which I cant remb at the moment.

Today's UT is like "XXXX", totally dunnoe how to do.... very sad... I'm so tired that before the UT, fell alseep for 5-10min, my brain wasn't functioning for the past few days, dunnoe why... Just feel very sleepy.. zzz zzz zzz zzz

And dunnoe why, Jovi, Tai^2 & Karen went off so fast after school that I didn't even notice them... Was looking for them but they were nowhere to be found, wonder where they are rushing to? Home? FYP?

Anyway some happy thing is that, I MsN chat wif him (you should know who) and my long time buddy (sheryl). Though we didn't chat much and he once again got girlfriend and this time is "2 wife" but still at least we MSN, after sooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooong, since past few holis.

*Yawn.. Sleep liao.. Good Nitez..

On leave for the week because of UTs and IDP, so I cancel all shifts but end up my Bro who is working has a change in schedule so he replaced me...

I spent the whole weekend either sleeping or surfing net, the website is so slow, it took me like more than an hour to buffer an hour variety show "舞林大道"...

My Bro actually went to stay inside a COFFIN for 3sec, and pose for a pic, a TOTO ticket and he got a pair free preview tickets for "The Coffin", on Wed, Cathay, 9pm, FREE SITTING..

Onli got 5 hr of sleep (1.30am - 6.30am, bro's friend came to house to ton), then got wake up by DAD, to go breakfast together... He offer to send me to Orchard Hotel, for IDP open house though the fair starts at 11.00am... haha.. Actually, I've arrange to meet Sab @ 1100am, Tamp MRT stat. to go together but too lazy to walk, cause it's not directly or near the MRT stat... Still mange to go together with Sab, we went to her house to fetch her and the two of us when to Forum, Mac for breakfast..

Main objective of the fair: To check whther I need to sit for IELTS if I did not pass my GCE "O" Level...

Reply: GCE "O" Level, just a reference, mian crtieria is Polytechnic GPA. If still want prove then sit for IELTS..

Thoughts: I will still take IELTS, get a pass grade, a certi to prove that I can make it also for future use.

People who went IDP tigether: Sab, Stacy, Nan, Sam, Fidah, Alvin, Kerus & Mei Yin, Marissa

I've applied for 3 University this time round, Curtin, UNSW, ANU, unfortunately I did not make for Melbourne uni, just 0.02 away, their cut off was 3.40, they did not even consider, just rejected me.. very sad.. All Uni. I apllied foreither Biomedical Science, Science, Medicine Science or Nursing.. The rest didn't applied for Curtin, as they are too good for that and they didn't look good since its a Technology Uni.

Mei Yin went to enquired about Moash Uni, she wanna enrol for Nutrition Science but she say the hope of entering is low, but she has a GPA of 3.57 that is way better than me.. If i got that GPA, Melbourne Uni wouldn't have rejected me...

Anyway, Sab & I was there till around 2.30pm, then we back to get some stuff and headed home.. The rest were still there when we left...

After school there was Neurobio. UT so we had to shift to the next door class, as the lesson ended early, we had some time to enjoy and play some K 歌之王.. I losed throughout the game, Karen juz by hearing the opening can recognize the songs, Jovina is good at cantonese songs and Ying Jun is general..

I'm so unlucky that my laptop lag because there's a number of digram, my laptop cannot take too many digrams. End up I got to write on paper, cannot refer to laptop.. Hiaz...

Then after the UT, we (Karen, Tai^2, Diana, Qian Wen & Me) went to eat @ Pastamania and drank bubble tea. About an hour of eating, drinking and chit chatting, we went to send Diana off then we went NTUC fot shopping and slacked off at Civic Mac.

Initially juz wanna spend an hour there but ended up spending about 3-4 hours.. Telling stories, get to know them a little more.. But majority was the April's Babies talk (Tai^2 & I was born on the same dd/mm/yyyy), I/C also almost the same only 1 digit and alpha away, so surprising..

This consider the 1st bonding session with the gals group, it fun and interesting hope to join them more if they don't mind.. And I am looking forward to have them as dorm mates and spend a year at Monash, of course with Esther (although she cant stay in the same dorm as us but wil be there with us), especially to celebrate my 20th birthday with someone of the same birthday @ overseas.

But the journey home was long... I waited for about 30min for 168 but manage to get a sit and slept through the journey back home.. zzzz

*This should be yesterday's blog entry but yesterday was too late and tired to blog...

Boring day... The lab session was of no use, it like "TRAPPING" us in. It should not have taken so long, we spend like 2 - 3 hour playing with that "EYE" & silcon... Initlally was fun then after getting a hand of it, it become boring...

Today is a depressing day.. juz was the score for one of the UT question, did very BADLY.. It greatly affect my mood for the day, now not in the mood to drive later and do revision for tml UT..

Two of my random comment came true today... First was raining, it was raining before that, but when I "lied" to friends in class say it's raining outside (only Tai Tai believe and went out to see, but of course it was raining at that time ), it really rained after 5 min when we were about to leave the school.

Second, was about the bus. Jing Ye was hungry so went to buy curry puff; actually he only got 10cent with him...haha... So i told Qian Wen that later if 161 come, juz leave him back. The moment I said finish, the bus really came and they hurry up to get on the bus..

So I wish the next statment I make will come true.. "I WILL PASS THE REST OF THE TESTS DOWN THE ROAD WITH FLYING COLOURS" since the statements i made randomly ahve come true... > <

Today is a boys dominating class - 13/17 & Jem Wu is sick, down with fever unable to come to class. All abandon me, Esther overslept while Jovi & Karen pei Tai Tai skip class. No one accompany to eat, got to eat with the guys and went home alone... so SAD..

Worse is that today's topic is about BREAST CANCER.. The all guys team actually came up with 32 slides while the rest including 6p only had 13 slides, so we ended class at 4pm despite we only had 3 teams.

And I learn to play poker today.. Luckily didn't lose, just nice, a break even. Too daring to always up the value though cards might not be nice, wanna try my luck till the last card.... Haha...

***Not only that, today last min receive a call that I have to replace someone's shift for work (6pm - 10pm), had to rush after school. Also got a "B" for Biomed, so depressing, wonder where I did wrong - What is a good RJ?

My teeth is giving my lot of problem.. i think the gum problem have worsen to invade into tooth root... need to see a dentist soon.. I wonder when was the last time I went to visit a dentist for a proper dental check...

Today is also a boring weekend, and since I cant walk much, all I do is sit in front of my desktop to surf net or to sleep..

My knee, cant being, turn and straighten.. having lot of problem when sleeping and walking.. hope can recover faster..

Really need the leg to be able to drive, I am lacking behind lesson and TP is coming soon. Have no Confident to pass.

* Karen has manage to find me blog, so for now since I have reader, I will rememmebr to keep my blog entry short.. > <

I have a question in mind: What is wrong to be working hard? Sacrifice time and off day, coming back to school to learn extra module, undergoing more UT and face more challenges, to get a ADVANCE diploma?

For me, I did BADLY for my GCE "O" Level, but ended up in the course I wanted the most, still I have to travel a far distance to school. So I have to work harder to have better achievement in tertiary education since it's a new whole start over. And the education system here seem to suit me better, able to express and explore my potential in academical though still need more improvement and have a lot to learn, I am also able to spend time to have other developments such as events management and service learning.

But WHY WHY is the Faci keep emphasizing the different between advance and non-advance student? There are also many non-advance higher and low achiever, depends on how we deals with learning. We, advance students are no different to them, there is also a mixture. We Fight our way through the journey.

Though we (advance) may be competitive, we are never content to remain in the state. We are always encouraging ourselves and motivate us to move forward regardless of the challenge ahead.

It was the faci who are puting titles on us, now there are also faci who dislike us because of it; arraogant, mighty and etc. Make it as if we are looking down on other but in actual fact, the non-advance diploma can also be as good as us, it just depend on themselves. It really upsetting to be in a class where you are always highlighting "ADVANCE Diploma & Non-Advance Diploma".

It really demoralizing, and the faci seem to be paying attention to those Non-advance rather thjan the Advance, if we (Advance) make a mistake or did not perform up to stand of the"Title", she will mention to the WHOLE class, do not know if it's GOOD or BAD.

I believe that learning depends on self, regardless of suitation, we should learn to overcome. We are all the same, and have a lot to learn and same potential. These potential are jusy sleeping within us, wiating to be explore, what I have now you might not have but does not mean you DO NOT have, it just yet to be explore. Do Not GIVE UP, cheers.

Quote for the day: "Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself."

I have a BIG BIG question in my mind, waiting for it to be answer. The question is, "Where do I go next? It's Local uni (Nursing) or Monash (Biomedical)?" Though I have also applied for Uni. Queensland, they also give the same offer but I not really keen into it; No friend will be going with me, I'll be alone and parent will be worried.

I really have NO IDEA which is the path I should take after here (Poly), my heart and mind is not synchronize.

Let's analyze the pros and cons of each decision...
(Heart) Monash Uni: Biomeidcal
- Reason for Choice: Have interest and is in the line, more or less uunderstand the expectation of it.
- Academic Year: Feb 2009 - 2010 / July 2009 - 2010. But intending to go for Feb 2009 - 2010 since will be able to fly togther with friends and facilitator.
- Time: 1 year, graduate with Degree of Biomedical Science Under the faculty of Health care.
- Reason For Exemption: Uni yr 1 & 2 modules have been in-cooperate into our Poly's modules.
- Investment: AUD$50,000 - 60,000 (Intend to take loan)
- Course Structure: Un-specialize/Specialize. Aiming to take health care related module such as Human Pathology I & II, Forensic Genetics and etc.
- Accommodation: School Dorm with 3 other known friends (current classmates), expendeure will also reduce even we all chips in. If DELAY to July 2009 - 2010, will not be able to stay with them.
- Safety: Have friends and Nanny (there will be a assigned lecturer tot ake care of us, RP students)
- Furture (After Graduate): May not have job, or not interest in research. Still have possibility to look for job that requrie the knowledge but not in direct (e.g. Science Event/Business/Finance/Law).


(Mind) Local Uni: Nursing, Private/NUS/NTU Insitute
- Reason for Choice: Ambition is to be in the Health care industry, working as a doctor or nurse. Have passion, willing to work long hours but there is still a lot of unknown challenges ahead. Stable job, there is high demand everywhere in the world. - Academic Year: July 2009-2012/13. - Time: 3 - 4 years, not exemption. - Investment: S$50,000 & above. - Accomendation: Maybe in dorm sue to travel time or remain at home but have to travel across the island (from an end to the other, depends on the insitute's location). Have to make new friends. - Future (After Graduate): "Sure have job", High Demand EVERWHERE.

*** So Where Should I Go NEXT..... HELP!! HELP!!

Everyone can and know how to use search engine, to find the article the are looking for. Other than search for knowledge, at times I believe that we will also search for friends, to find updates about their recent happenings (e.g. blogs, journals and etc).

But what is shocking is that faci will search for student blogs, I suppose their aim was to understand the student more for those they are unfamiliar with and get "feedback" from them, know how they feel about the lesson and faci wihtout having face-to-face.

You know what... One of my friends blog was found and read, since it was not lock, anyone can enter and read, so can the faci. She was having fun and actually reminded my firned not to DOZE OFF zzzzzz during lesson... HaHa...

Which is also a benefit as it cause the change in presentation during the 3rd meeting, we ahd game rather than the usual borin grepeating presentation slide, it was more engaging and can see that every one is participating and have a smile on their face. It is also less tense since there is an UT for the day, the subject is no other than BIOINFORMATIC, a unpredicable subject.

Though I kind of scare too but at the same time I have it interesting, wonder if anyone will find my blog but it is hardly updated...
