"Friendship is not about finding similarities, it is about respecting differences. You are not my friend coz you are like me, but because i accept you and respect you the way you are."
I realise that the Singapore Education System do place a great emphasis on exams and I'm feeling it right now. Very disappointed. Our semester 2 results were out, many were glad they did better this semester but some are still very disappointed with their results for falling below expectations. I'm not sure what is expected of me this time around. But I have decided not to exercise the S/U option and see if it's good enough. Hopefully I won't regret my decision.
A little update from what I have been doing. My internship experiment shows promising results so far. Hope the sequencing results will not mess everything up and I have to repeat the whole experiment again. I really enjoyed working with my mentor. She's very kind and helpful. Although she's busy with her own experiment, she will definitely take time to make sure I understand and can cope with what I'm doing.
I went to play at the West Coast Park playground on Thursday. So fun. I think I didn't enjoy enough as a kid. Haha.. must make up for it now:P
Friday was really disappointing and sad day. I didn't expect myself to be so upset. But thanks for the company.
Anyway, Saturday's "swimming lesson" was fun. Yippee...I'm 'learning' how to swim. :P
We will also be preparing for the PGPR Welcome Festival the coming month. Will be having our general meeting soon but we are already starting to do some of the work now, like designing the guidebook. I'm looking forward to working with the RAs in the coming semester. I guess it will be very fun and exciting.
I went for the Matriculation Fair PB Briefing. It's really troublesome to be representing two clubs at the same time, especially when they fall under different groups. I guess it will be better if they are aware of what each other are doing rather than what they are doing alone. I wasted a lot of time queuing outside the LT because they direct me to the wrong queue. I even went to confirm with them 2 times that I'm in the correct queue. It started almost an hour late. Haha..rather inefficient I would say. They have also increase the price of the booths without getting consent from the PBs and only after everyone made the payment. I think it's not right for them to do so; they should have at least made the announcement once they have decided to increase the price. The reason they gave was because there's increase in cost of wiring. I was wondering if the wiring company can just increase the price after they have confirmed the price. That's not all, we were told to bring two extension cords one which must have at least 4 sockets and 5m long for one but they are only allocating us with 2 sockets each. They couldn't really justify the reason why we need to bring 2, only saying that in case we don't have enough :S So not convincing I would say.
Okie I think I'm being super critical to them. Haha..Just don't like the way they work. But whatever it is, they have my support coz this is not a small event to handle. There bound to be people who are unhappy about the arrangements. And I guess they have their share of problems to handle. So will try my best to give them my full cooperation although it may seem contradictory.
Next week, I will be shifting to another room again. Haih..so troublesome and I think it's going to be super tiring. Can't imagine my small small room and store so many things inside. Hehe..need to dispose and bring home some of my things. I'm like always bringing things here and nothing back home.
We will also be trying to organise the Singapore National Othello Championship in NUS this holidays. Hopefully the proposal will be approved fast:P Then can start working on it. Don't want everything to clash.
