♥ results gotta improve
feeling really sad now, emo until cannot emo alr... it's juz due to my results.
i calculated that even if the next 3 semesters, i got a perfect GPA consistently, my cumulative GPA at the end of 3 years is only 3.594 which is juz nice for admission into a local uni. and i noe i can never achieve 4.0 all the way. i checked online and i realised that 80% depends on poly results and 20% depends on O level results! yes, O level results actually still counts in to admission. and the super irritating thing is that CCA doesn't play a part anymore, not even 1%. yeah. so even though i strive my best to get at least an A with merit for CCA, it doesn't play a part in my admission at all. i mean, after "working" so hard to get more than 46 points for these 3 semesters, it's kind of useless actually. the only thing i hope is to get NYAA gold award, at least it looks nice on my CCA records. oh man, i juz dun feel right. after forcing myself to do so many stuffs for the sake of CCA points, den realising that it's no use at all, I SHOULD HAD CONCENTRATED ON MY STUDIES LAH.
but no matter what, i should be thankful cos not ev'one can get 3 As every semester (: ha! oh wells, from next sem onwards, i'm gonna study real hard (i hope) and get As next sem!! but i'm juz worried that if i dun get into local uni, what am i supposed to do ):

♥ results!
results are here ~
i got As for Industrial Engineering, Advanced Machining and Engineering Math 2!! Thank God! i really mugged hard for these modules, though it's kinda unexpected for EM2 (: heh.
Bs for Engineering Design ): i alw respect Raja cos whatever modules he teach, i will get A ): but this time, is really my bad la. i only studied the day before ): Financial Mgt (GEMS) got B, thankfully! i think that's the lowest la.. B+ for Report Writing!! i expected another A cos i put in "so much" effort in the final report and i was looking forward for an A. it's probably my CA1 and 2 which pulled my grade? but i guess B+ isn't too bad la~ (: woohoo!
Cs again.. ): for Engineering Materials 2 and Industrial Automation. i noe my EM2 will be that horrible cos i didn't study much the week before.. watching single dad in love la! ):< very ironic lor, this 2 modules is the last 2 papers and i had 1 week juz to study, with no papers or anything in b/w, but this 2 scored the worst. lesson learnt : set priorities right, study means study, no movie or drama allowed. Industrial Automation, very sad. never study properly. all my ladder diagrams and etc all wrong, thankfully got practical to pull me up. but it's clear that i did badly for this paper ): sad. if i had gotten an A for IA, my GPA would be 3.46 i think, what a waste ):
GPA kinda dropped. Last sem was 3.192, this sem is 3.154. i noe is a minor drop, okay, to encourage myself, i'm in TF, so i cannot compare my GPA with the others in A stream.. (: ha, whatever.. cumulative is 3.25 only.... how to go local Uni...
GYL gathering tonight, i think i shall emo myself and not go (:

♥ GYL 2008
Returned from GYL camp 2008. i think my post last year is much more lively than this post, juz skip reading if possible. camp was on 7th Sept - 10th Sept. Sunday to Wednesday. the start of a melancholy post begins...
Day 1
Reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal at 7 plus in the morning. the feeling is totally different from last year. there's nothing for me to look forward this year, beside the end of the camp. ): instead of seeing gary and sean like last year, only 1 mbr from GYL camp was there. this time, i brought luggage bag so i can roll instead.
Jungle trekking in the afternoon, the same route as last year. teamwork, communication and encouragement is needed essentially. group 1 isn't too bad afterall~ in the evening, we had talks again. empathy and leadership qualities. indeed different from last year (: oh yea! 1 of my group mbr is actually a PK, so den, me and PK gathered in the night time to have fellowship~ cool huh!
Day 2
treasure hunt in the morning. we were supposed to find stuffs like, ant, lizards, roundest stone, smoothest stone, biggest flower, hermit crab and etc... omg, my group was so daring luh. we came up 2nd with a score of 44 (: heh.
Denise and i actually planned to cook up some excuse so we can skip the high elements on day 2 and 3(for her). my group has ard 4 ppl who are scared of heights. talk about hostage! ): gee. anw, i didn't skip high elements in the end. ms dora was the first lady to go up and finished the whole stages. super brave. so she was analyzing that stage 2 with e tyres were the toughest cos required hand muscles. siti went to do next and i was so inspired by her that after she did her flying fox, i decided to do and get over this high ropes stuffs. the first stage was the easiest and i was actually really scared by then. requires trust w team mbrs luh, cos they are the ones relaying you. in front of me was rahul and he did so fast, behind me was rin zhi (spelling?!) and she was really fast. after i got over with the 2nd stage, the most dreaded stage was next. it was juz ropes. ahh, i duno how to say but yeah, scared me. did super slowly actually. the last part of stage 3 has 2 dangling ropes on its own. feels like eternity man. walking on the log next was pretty easy (: the last stage was the flying fox! super scared of the first step, stayed there for at least 2-3 min lor. after making the 1st step to "jump", i realised that i was a coward at the top (: ha~ finally over! good job to those who managed to finish this high ropes! even though my group leader gave up 1/2way! LOL!
next in the evening was talks and presentations. and then we started our gala night performance. not too bad... supposed to do fellowship but cos of some stuffs, we kinda cancelled it.
Day 3
Paint Ball! wanted to play this last year but we didn't. i think cos i wasn't so active and i juz hid behind a tree so i didn't get to really appreciate the art of paint ball. LOL. ended very fast and so xue min and i went to sun tan~~ haha.. den i saw zhi hua and weijian at lunch!! cos EEE's GYL is on tues to fri, so we kinda clashed! cool huh, like 4 of us still can see each other in batam! jonathan, wei jian, zhi hua and me! LOL. den we had gala night prep. done real fast and i went back to watch teevee. hahah. gala night was next~ more performance this year~ hahaha. ended quite late too.
Day 4
woke up to see the sunrise, but from the jetty, cannot see properly cos sun rises from the other end of the beach. so walked ard and took millions of photos cos i was locked out of my room ): den i saw mr teng doing his morning walks. LOL. so in the end, i finally got to see the sunrise at that time. and we decided to have early breakfast (: so i was strolling back when i saw zhi hua literally jumping luh. LOL. went for breakfast and MM leaturers were commenting that EEE students very disciplined and etc. LOL. next was visit to orphanage. haha. played soccer, table tennis, scissors paper stone, fold paper cranes~ done by the groups. gee. next was to the megamall again. i didn't buy anything again, okay, i sound really tired now. i think i will re-edit in future. slept on the way back in the ferry, really tired sia. slept for only 3 hrs the previous night.
reflections and etc.
thank God for my group 1~ even though i can't rmb names, but i think ev'one did real good!
group 1:
leader/yueh lin - i think i kinda enjoyed his leadership cos we are quite slack de (: scared of height like most of us but the only one who gave up after 1 stage. at least he tried. i only rmb-ed on the last day. his shopping bill came up to 145K rupiah, den he wanted to pay w 50K rupiah. aiya, very troublesome to pay in Ks!! ):
siti - most ra ra girl. very sporting and inspiring! does most of the work like in singing, shouting, cheering, presenting, etc..
aria (spelling!) - she's like siti! both super sporty and helpful de (:
tayzer - great job~ he tries to bring the group tgt too.. (:
chong kuan - i can't rmb which person cos he's so quiet luh... i only hear him talk like, i dunno how many sentence luh.. not bad la~
kuan pheng - speaks malay also, another of our translator during orphanage trip (:
mitchell - turns out to be denise's junior! LOL. cool stuffs do happen. yeah, another spontaneous person like siti~ hahaha, i think CASS and DMIT are really outstanding ppl luh!

♥ pre-gyl syndroms
supposed to pack luggage and do ppt slides and off to sleep by now, last min prep again. anyway, GYL prep is just going on lidat. feel kinda vexed about some issues. ev'thing is not in place and lecturers are making noise. yes, yr 2s are supposed to help out and yr 2s themselves are not co-operating also. feeling damn pissed off. why can't ev'one be more cooperative and can't they have the basic accountability to their leaders? i finally understand the essential of accountability. i mean, dun skip any pre camp activities when it's important for ur group bonding. i admit, i skip the stupid walk but at least i've account to my leader that i was sick. at least i didn't skip and lie that i had something on despite running a high fever on monday. i really really ain't looking forward for this camp. the people, the place, the problems that we're definitely gonna face, the talks that we're gonna have and many more. feeling really pek chek. i'm gonna go for this camp purely for 2 reasons right now. leaving home in 7 hrs time. 4 days time. i hope i dun get any blacker than my phil trip.
p/s. i brought the same luggage bag which i brought to phil! imagine! 25 days worth of stuffs and 4 days worth of stuffs. owells.
-- edit--
the luggage wheel got chipped off on the way to the mega mall at batam! SUPER ANGRY! 4 days trip only, compared to 25 days. brighter side of life : it's the 25days trip which resulted in the 4 days trip.
happy belated 20th bday to amos!
happy belated 20th bday to 612/sis!
