Big relief..=)))
Woohoo...finally got back my results for my exchange in HK this morning...Its really a super long wait for the results release and i must say that i am super worried because i had taken 2 core, 1 PE and 1 UE which i MUST transfer over in order for me to graduate successfully this july. And the fact that i only studied for my 3 papers for only 6 days while struggling to get well from food poisoning made me even more worried.
Yup, so am very glad with the results. In fact, they were all up to my expectation. But if this is the result i get in NTU, then i will think its quite cui..Since its only transfer of credits, as long as i passed, i am happy. So really heaved a sigh of relief when i saw the results. Finally cleared this bothering issue, which is making me rather sian and cranky at times. So, i can now finally fully focus on my FYP and job seeking lo...
Speaking of FYP...was in school for most of today, trying to write my part of the literature review and of coz to distribute out the survey forms to whoever i know. Yup...pretty desperate lah because the deadline set by the prof is actually next week..and how am i going to get 250 sample size and key in the data within one week...really need all my friends who received my email blast to complete it man..else i think i confirm GG...
Gotten the bak kwa today which i bought from ove'09 and tts means tt the footsteps of CNY is really getting nearer n nearer...In fact...its this sunday..OMG...i must say tt i dun feel the CNY mood at all, and this is the same feeling i had over the past 2 years. Guess the meaning of CNY to me have changed over the years. Issit because i am getting older? or is everyone feeling the same as i did? I really do miss those fun days of CNY i had when i was young....but it can never be the same again...maybe i will visit my primary school this friday to experience it again..HAHAA..=p

最初的夢想.....一定要到达
最初的夢想 范瑋琪
如果驕傲沒被現實大海冷冷拍下
如果驕傲沒被現實大海冷冷拍下
又怎會懂得要多努力才走得到遠方
如果夢想不曾墜落懸崖千鈞一髮
又怎會曉得執著的人要有隱形翅膀
.
把眼淚裝在心上會開出勇敢的花
可以在疲憊的時光閉上眼睛聞到一種芬芳
就像好好睡了一夜直到天亮
又能邊走著邊哼著歌用輕快的步伐
.
沮喪時總會明顯感到孤獨的重量
多渴望懂得的人給些溫暖借個肩膀
很高興一路上我們的默契那麼長
穿過風又繞個彎心還連著像往常一樣
.
最初的夢想緊握在手上
最想要去的地方怎麼能在半路就放
最初的夢想絕對會到達
實現了真的渴望才能夠算到過了天堂
heard this old song over the radio just now and thought its pretty nice, as in the lyrics are quite meaningful..
am threading along the thin thin line.......
Finally a medal...=)))
Went down to school today to settle some stuff for my FYP, which only lasted for a few hours. Coz the highlight for me today is actually the ISG semis in the evening against NIE. Its actually quite some time since i played competitive vball. I like playing competitive vball coz i like the adrenaline rush, the excitement, the feeling of triumph or sorrow(not really!!!) after the match, the mind games you play with the opponents, to outwit each other. Have played for NBS at the ISG for all 3 years already and since this is my final yr in nbs, so i am pretty determined to end it off with a medal from the ISG. In fact the last time i gotten any medal from a vball competition was 2 years back, also at the ISG, where we got 3rd. So it had been a medal drought for me from vball for quite some time.
So played NIE in the semis, where we were expected to lose coz we are the underdogs in the competition especially when both ivp players weren't around. The first set was so tight, where we lost 29-27..then the second set, we fought back with 27-25...both sets were super duper close..and every points count..make me sweat siaz..haha..then the final set, we won 15-11...so first time through to the finals for nbs for all my 3 yrs. Because no one wants to come back on Saturday for the finals, we decided to play the finals right after the semis, which means its quite shag, especially when we have totally no substitutes at all. Surprisingly, the finals wasn't as exciting as the semis because the other team, the engine, made too much unforced errors. And eventually we won...woohooooo...guess this is the first time nbs won the isg vball, defeating all the pre-match hot favourites. And yeah...another GOLD medal added to my collection. =)))))
Today is one of the rare occasion whereby i am super on form and highly motivated. There is this unknown source of motivation that is powerful enough to inspire me today...haha....i will try to find out wat this source is. Hmm...the last time i was on form for vball was way back in army, where my team won the inter-unit comp. Yup..totally love the feeling when i am on form, where almost every ball seems to know where i want it to go..hahaha...But nevertheless, must say that vball is a team sport, it require lots of understanding and cooperation from everyone in order to win it, so it doesnt really depend on just one person.
People always say that its the process of fighting to achieve that matters rather than the end product, i agree with that. Somehow, i think we managed to enjoy both the process (coz we were not too stressed up, as we can even joke and laugh though we lost some points) and also achieve what we want today.
And one thing i learnt is that, never go into a battle with the mentality that you will lose, because you have already lost half the battle with that mindset. So i am pretty glad i went into the match with the strong mentality that i will win the game. and i guess thats wat everyone in the team feels as well, though we are facing a much stronger opponent..."there is nothing in this world tt u cannot do, it is whether u want to do it or not"
Hope this win will give me more confidence to face the uncertainty for whatever i am facing now or that come my way.

i am really slacking like mad !!!!
Not been doing much these few days since i am only having a one day week and FYP for this semester. I know that a lot of people are pretty envious that i am only having a one day week, but i myself is not exactly fantastically happy about that fact. Because it can get really super damn boring staying at home with virtually nothing much to do other than slacking, nuahing and lo-bo-ing. Sometimes it has come to a point whereby there is nothing for me to surf on the net, no more movies to watch online and no one to chat online. I even finish reading all sections of all newspaper available everyday lor. So what can i do?? I am now just having a glimpse into that kind of life i will be living after i graduate IF i do not get a job by august, which will be damn sad lah. But then base on the papers reports i think there is a 50% chance that such thing will happen, though i am praying hard that i can get a job.
Totally dun like such slack-until-nothing-to-do kinda life, because it is just simply wasting my time and my life away. And that got me motivated enough to renew my search for job today, but i have not apply yet. Been trying to find a part time job to do from wed-fri of each week and also some volunteering work to do on sat, which i applied with kelvin. Luckily there is still weekly vball session to look forward to, or else i think every single day of the week will be the same to me. Maybe its a good chance for me to go learn some new sports, some new musical instrument or what. Got to live my life man..hahaa...
Realise that quite a number of my friends are feeling rather down or sian or unhappy for some unknown reason these few days. Wouldnt want to probe them too much actually but just wanna say that:
"笑也一天，哭也一天，为什么不笑着过一天??"
It is really up to one's choice to feel happy or not. No matter whether u are happy or unhappy, one day of your life will just go past. So why not make the effort to think positively and be more optimistic right?

letters and cards...
Surprisingly i am still awake at this unearthly timing....been tossing around on bed for almost 2 hrs but just couldnt sleep at all..dunno why..maybe i had slept too much on the bus back home just now. So decided to just tidy up my desk for a while. But that din really last long because i got attracted to a stack of letters or cards that pple sent me during xmas, new yr, bdae or just some random letters since pri sch...
Yup..i do keep all these cards n letters because they have an additional sentimental value to me. I do like snail mail more than emails. Though email is fast and instant, it just cannot replace the additional value and meaning that snail mail brings. The anticipation of receiving the letter or card and the joy of receiving them is much more than what email can brings. And that is why i had never sent out e-greeting cards and prefer physical cards instead. But speaking of which, i have not been sending cards or letters for a few yrs. Guess i have become more busier or maybe more lazy over the years. But actually writing a card doesnt really require hours to write it, i guess its just the amount of effort one is willing to put in only. I myself am happy to receive cards or letters from friends so i guess the receiving party should be happy too right...haha..so why not share the joy...Just hope this mode of communication will not become obsolete.

a place so familiar....NTU
Finally went back to NTU today for FYP meeting...it had been almost 6 months since i stepped into this Pulau NTU, a niao3 bu4 shen1 dan4 place. The first feeling i had when i saw the familiar FAL and the IT labs is "finally..i am back home". Quite surprised that i had such a feeling because in the past i am not exactly proud to be associated with ntu somehow. But i guess its coz after my exchange in HK at hku that makes me appreciate what studying or being back in ntu can offer me. And also, my uni life had been made more colourful and memorable by the various stuff i joined, like the vietnam study trip, the OVE laos expeditiion, the hall life and actually most importantly are the friends i met and the strong friendship bonds that are formed in these 2 yrs that made my uni life more exciting.
So my uni life isnt that boring as i was expecting it to be when i first entered ntu. And somehow, i am starting to miss NTU now especially as this is the last semester that i will be here. So miss staying in hall too, coz it offers convenience for me, gives me some degree of freedom and independence, and can chit chat with pple in halls and go for suppers...what i pity i cant get hall this last sem.
Yup..so since this is my last sem studying in sch for my entire life..i must try to appreciate and treasure every moment, every bits of it. This august will mark a new chapter in life, provided that i found a job of coz..and i will surely miss this schooling chapter which i have lived through for the past 15 years...somehow, i also realise that what really define my schooling life are not the academic achievements i got (if any) but rather the CCAs i joined, the fun n joy i had in these ccas and the friends i have made..yup..so my advice to the kids these days is that they shld join ccas..and join them with passion n enthusiasm coz these are the things that will define their experiences in sch...
Alright...enough of all these crapping n bullshiting...
Time to focus and get back to reality..and of coz must end this sem with a big big bang man..hahaa
