Results were released. It was my 10th semester in nus, yet I was still nervous over what I would get. The amount of anxiety was much less than the previous semesters though. Haha. ok lah, I think I met expectation this time round, and my effort paid off. Luckily Prof Shen appreciated my reports. Haha. :)
Currently amending my thesis. My supervisor's definition of "very few corrections" is so different from mine. I think I have only amended 10 pages so far. 30 plus pages to go. Yaya, the second half of my thesis is still with my supervisor. Hope to complete the thesis before I go NIE. Sigh, got to work hard. I used to think that clearing 5 modules and 1 thesis is damn easy. Now I realize it is a different story altogether.
I can't believe it is already end of May, and I have to go to NIE for registration in three weeks time. >_< Still waiting for some official letter to be sent to me. Argh. They say my new pay will be indicated in the letter. This reminds me, I have to plan my finances again. When I went for consultation last week, my supervisor and I had a brief discussion on that. Lol. Ya know, I don't even discuss that with my dad. :P I hope my take-home pay in NIE will be more than what I'm getting now.

Having stomach flu now. >_<>_<
Went to watch spiderman 3 last Sunday. It wasn't as good as what I expected. Haha, anyway, here's a picture of spidey.

I'm now waiting to catch Shrek 3 and Harry Potter. :)
Had a consultation with my supervisor on Monday. 3 hours consultation. Was kind of drained when I stepped out of his office at 6pm. Bus 95 was packed, although it's vacation time. I was standing at the front door, on the stairs. Luckily the female bus driver was really cautious, no emergency brake or abrupt turn or whatsoever. Haha, or else I would be flying out of the bus.
Had a lunch treat from my junior before consultation. Haha. He wanted to go and introduce his girlfriend to our supervisor, but too bad he wasn't back in his office at that time. Prof Goh was so disappointed when I told him what he had missed. Haha. So Jiale, you know what to do right? Lol.
I've finally gotten back my physics notes. I've lent different sets of notes to different people. Some of my friends are really appreciative and they take good care of my stuff. On the other hand, I think some people treated my stuff like doormat or umbrella. Look at the condition of my physics 3 notes... there're water stains, edges are folded, and that fellow wrote on my lab reports and notes. And (!!!) one of my lab report is missing. >_<
Haha. Before I go, just wanna mention that kwan's third child is a daughter. Lol. Yes, I'm still in contact with him. Poor him, get haunted by me for so many years. Haha. I'm quite nice to him ok... not many people's names can appear on my thesis' acknowledgement page, since I always limit its length to one page. Lalala.

Had our mothers' day celebration today. We didn't do anything too happening this year (haha, not that we did anything happening before). Had lunch at imperial treasure and here's mum with the roasted pig:

Had her favourite chestnut cake at home.


Haha, we look like sisters, don't we?
Had a short mahjong session after that. And yes, I donated money again. >_< But then, I was entertained for two hours. Haha. And it's only $1.10.
I realize we have so little family photos. Haha. Is it because we have no camera stand or what?

Heard that some of my friends had been arrowed to organize the coming Honours gathering. Poor guys. Initially, I thought it wasn't THAT bad for them, since they have a committee which consists of 7 people (ok, I hope I'm right with the number). Then I realized they have problem contacting everyone in the committee. Sigh. Oh well. I guess, just in case that any of them reads my blog, I shouldn't sound too discouraging. Lol. Let me say something encouraging then.
ok, first of all, I was very glad that I had a group of friends who took the trouble to come to school to plan part of the stuff with me and reach the lunch venue much earlier to help me set up stuff, when it's purely voluntary on their part. When the "elected" organizers walked away, at least I had my friends who stepped in to help out. Secondly, although the gathering wasn't perfect, the attendance was pretty good, and in general, the people who turned up were cooperative and appreciative. Of course, there were quite a number of discouraging incidents which happened along the way, and I was pretty stressed during that period of time, but, at least now when I look back at what I did last year, I think it wasn't a big waste of my time and energy. Haha. At least, I can say I had done something for my cohort, and a group of them appreciated the effort. And a handful of them are people I did not expect.
Haha. Time flies.
Most of my friends who are currently in NIE have gotten their posting results. So far, all the guys I know are posted to secondary schools, and most of the girls (except one) are posted to JC. Hmm. Haha, and I'm quite envious of my friend who is posted to TJ. :P
I can't believe that I gonna go for my enhanced school experience thingy in a few weeks time. >_< *** still hasn't replied my email. Sigh.
The holidays has been pretty relaxing so far. But gonna meet my supervisor next Monday. Haha. Gonna start working on thesis again soon. And sigh, my days in NUS are limited.

Haha. It's been ages since I last updated. Oh well, I was busy revising for my exam. I only have one exam this semester and I spent 8 days revising for it. Lol. ok, I admit that's a bit kiasu, coz I read through the notes more than three times and I did all the past year papers available. >_< Haha. Since it is probably my last exam in nus, I wanna do it well. :)
There's still the thesis to be completed. But then, there's not much time left. I'm leaving nus soon. :( Haha. I think I'm one of those odd ones out there who are reluctant to leave nus. I think these five years are really the best years in my life. There's a balance of freedom and challenges. More importantly, I feel that this path had been brightened by some people- my friends and lecturers.
In these five years, I feel a sense of achievement. I'm not born with an excellent brain, nor good looks. Not even good health. My family met a few crisis over the past two decades. I encountered failures and some failures weren't because I didn't work hard enough. During these five years, I managed to make my life better, and to some extent, I did manage to bring happiness to some people around me. Whatever setbacks in these five years, they made me a better person in the end. I am still far from perfect, but at least, I am now better than who I was five years ago.
I think I need to think of new items to add to my wish list. Haha. The last item is going to be strike out soon. Lol. :)
ok, time to rest and clean my room. Notes all over the table now.
Haha. BTW, I rebonded my hair. Lol. And I'm so poor now. >_<
