Setback after Setback

Sometimes hard work doesnt equate results..... It is demoralizing and I always try to tell myself not to give up, to try harder nxt time...I dunno why but somehow I just couldnt perform... I tried.... I really tried.... Perhaps this is not a suitable course for me... uni is one of the most challenging time of my life.... Disappointment after disappointment, setbacks after setbacks..... Its tiring... I am tired.... Perhaps this is God's way of making me tougher to face the obstacles of life ahead.....

Presentation Day

Completed my presentation today..... Think it went really well... Was quite smooth sailing... Though I got bombarded by a lot of "why?" qns by the prof, why this why that, managed to smoke my way thru.... Surprisingly he didnt comment on one set of data obtained which I think is weird or wrongly done.... had difficulty explaining that part....

Anyway, think there are more work to be done after the prof recommended that I shld investigate some parameters which are impt blah blah blah....lab seems like nvr ending man.... Anyway at the end of the presentation, I told him after investigating these other paramenters I will wrap up the experimental part of the FYP and concentrate on writing my thesis... He said "Sure". Heng ah..... Otherwise there is no end to it.... I need to put a stop to lab soon...

I just "love" my Prof

I just "love" my prof for his last min emails, stunners and high expectations of his fyp students...
First, received an email saying he wanted a presentation to be done on Fri on the current progress...... Sheesh la... So short notice!!!

Next, I noticed he loves to forward emails between himself and other students.... Now I know who are the pple in the lab kena issued a violation warning.... Think he out to shame them... Just not my style....

3 days to come up with presentation.... Wish me luck!!!

Difficult Times

Seems like there are more problems by the day, first Mum is seriously ill and I am worried for her, now we are left to wait for her results from the hospital, then I was diagnosed with this unwelcome illness which i am slowly recovering from, Sis is down with flu, Dad is away on business trip and I am left to take care of Mum, my sch workload is piling up, my postgrad sup is not too helpful, more of bochap kind..... Will things ever get better?

I will be fine, No Worries

Thanks for the well wishes.....Will get well soon :)

Mid Autumn Festival

Its that time of the year again when family and friends gather to enjoy a cup of pu er tea and mooncakes while children play around with their lanterns. Yes, it is the Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival (tats wat i always call it) . Hmm... Maybe I shld buy myself a lantern and play with sparklers!! Haha.... Still remember my childhood times.... Those were the carefree days.

I will know it is mooncake festival when dad starts bringing mooncakes home from all sorts of places, hotels, restaurants .... The funny thing is none of us in the family likes mooncakes, so we end up giving them away. I try to help finish some mooncakes, esp those snow skin types which will be the first to be eaten up while the traditional ones will take a longer time (snow skin tastes better). Have been eating mooncakes for breakfast for the past 5 consecutive days and I am abt to get sick of it....

Ok, think I shall stop blogging and concentrate with my latest "game" that I started playing 6 weeks ago..... Its called Hysys, where I can "play" with different temp, pressure, equipment like distillation columns and pumps..... I am still trying complete this stage which is due in 4 weeks time and to upgrade myself from Amateur level to Expert level.... haha... Sounds fun ya?

Term Break!!

Finally, term break after 6 weeks of sch!!! Time really flies.... It seems not too long ago when I was still enjoying my holidays after IA. Anyway, term break in NUS = No term break at all...sobsob... cos got project meetings, essay to write, FYP to do, the list goes on and on.... But then, I still need some time to rest..Ha. So, I think i shall satisfy my cravings for Kbox and rollerblading soon..... YESSSS!!!

Braggers are a bunch of Super Turnoffs

I just cant stand pple who like to boast or brag abt anything they can think of.... such as he or she has been to some fancy XXX restaurants and pubs (ok that is fine until the story goes on....), how he blow $$$ in a single night, how girls try to know him bcos he is shuai.... whether i have been there b4.... I mean pls la... like that also like to show off.... wth man...

Recently, someone boasts to me abt how he is going to be succesful after he graduates bcos he has, and i quote, "the brains and personality", "great presentation skills", how interviewers always "like" him when he goes for interviews, next time drive merc or bmw, how being a banker will earn more than an engineer (which is me i assumed) ... and the list continues cos he said so much i cant really remember all the crap he said.... ALL those bragging SURE tells me a LOT abt HIS PERSONALITY..... Wa kaoz.... I was trying to ren and not get pissed... But then I cant believed he even said those things to me.... It sucks big time or shld i say HE sucks big time and all the bragging makes me feel like puking!!!! Argh!!!!

I wun say i am an angel... BUT for one thing, I always learn to be humble AND I dun BRAG.... Probably its the upbringing thats different.... Come on, WATS there to brag abt in the first place? Only childish pple brags.... Sheesh.... I guess in life we get to meet all sorts of pple with "different" or "unique" personality and character, just have to get used to it.
