I'm so unprepared..got to study..
FYP-Hunting
Just a few days ago, I began to email Professors to search for a suitable lab to do my Final Year Project. I guess this is NUS's way of preparing you for job-hunt when you graduate. So far, I've emailed about 7 Profs and among them, there are 2 positive replies (indicating they have projects available), 2 negative replies (lab's full or no projects available) and no replies from the rest (how demoralizing)
Anyway, I've just met one of the prof this afternoon and things doesn't look that good considering that she's interviewing a few other students and I do not intend to continue to do PhD. She'll let me know by the end of March whether I'll be accepted or not. I think continuing to pursue Masters/PhD is seen as a very important criterion with some Profs listing that as their top criteria. Maybe I should start considering too
I'm not sure when the registration date is for FYP but this e-mailing and not getting much response is not something that I like. Maybe I'm not spending enough time to hunt for FYP or maybe I started too late? But whatever it is, I must persevere until I get a project now that I've decided to continue to do honours.
Alright, time to start working on my assignment that's due next week.

Yet still to come, i promise you, more happiness and love so true! :D
2 years and still counting...
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
Proud of You
Love in your eyes
Sitting silent by my side
Going on Holding hand
Walking through the nights
Hold me up Hold me tight
Lift me up to touch the sky
Teaching me to love with heart
Helping me open my mind
I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
Till the end of the time
Believe me I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
The heaven in the sky
***
Stars in the sky
Wishing once upon a time
Give me love Make me smile
Till the end of life
Hold me up Hold me tight
Lift me up to touch the sky
Teaching me to love with heart
Helping me open my mind
I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
Till the end of the time
Believe me I can fly
I'm proud that I can fly
To give the best of mine
The heaven in the sky
Can you believe that you lie down my way, no matter how that is my birth, I never loose my day.
See me fly.
I'm proud to fly up high.
Show you the best of mine.
Till the end of the time
Believe me I can fly.
I'm singing in the sky.
Show you the best of mine.
The heaven in the sky.
Nothing can stop me to spread my wings, so wide
Week 3
It's already Week 3 into Semester 2. My modules are finally settled and I'll be able to complete my second major this semester as long as there's no major disaster on my grades. Yippee!! They've allocated me, Supply Chain Management in replacement of Service Ops.
This semester is also the first time that my P account is bankrupt. I've used up all my points for Tumour Biology. 2103 points in total. I hope it's worth it. So far the lectures had been okay but I don't really like the lecturer and the LT. He'll explain simple concepts quite throughly and rush through the more complicated ones. Today will be his last lecture, hopefully the other 3 lecturers are much better. And that LT is super squeezy such that you can't move around much. If you're late, you better hope that there's corner seats available, if not, you'll just have to seat on the steps.
I'm also taking Immunology, Hormones and Health and Darwin and Evolution, a new module offered for the first time this semester. The module is rather interesting but there's lots of readings, even more than what I have for my core modules. It's supposed to be science gem but there's so much history in it that I'm beginning to think that it should be classified as an arts gem instead.
The inaugural Residence Games is finally over after months of planning. Well done to the team! I think most of them really work very hard for it.
I've just received one of the most troublesome coverage that I've ever done in VPC. The organising chairperson is so annoying. He keeps calling you almost every other day to ask about different things. Can't he just wait for e-mail replies?? It all started in December when we agreed to loan them the equipment for some shooting because we were short of manpower. He's request for the camera one day before he needs to use it and expect to get it. I'm not so free to everyday sit here and wait for your call with the camera. And I've never need to have 23 email correspondence with the organiser for one event. Arrgh..I'm just so irritated by him.
Time to take a break and play games!
Closure of DSC3202 Service Operations Mgmt C2 class on Tues 3-6pm in Semester 2 AY2010/11
From a module that has no exam to one with finals and accepting that I'll have 2 papers back to back after the changes. And after spending 6 hours in class, the class is closed and I'm forced to drop the module.
"We regret to inform you that the DSC3203 C2 class on Tuesdays 3-6pm will be closed due to low enrollment. We have examined various issues at length but due to university and school policies, we would have to merge the 2 (ie, C1 and C2) classes. We will automatically shift C2 students into the C1 class on Tuesdays 9-12pm if possible.
For those that have timing/module clashes with the C1 class, we will drop DSC3203 from your timetable."
So disappointing! So many mistakes! Failure in Service Operations! No wonder it's so difficult to complete a double major on time.
