Today, both the papers I had were equally disgusting. Yesterday, I thought that I will die in the organic chemistry paper due to lack of preparations and brains.. After the paper, I immediately prepared for the next which was in the evening. I think organic chemistry was kind of difficult, though I dont think I will do very badly or very well in it. Oh well.. it's over.. cant do anything about it already..

When I said that organic chemistry was difficult, I didnt really know what was difficult until I saw the questions for Biochemistry..
It was horrible!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!
What wrong's with the paper anyway? Where in the paper can you tell that it is FUNDAMENTAL? Nowhere!! Is there still any justice in this world? It was nowhere near easy or do-able!! So what if it's open book? I OPENED the BOOK and searched but mostly nothing could be found!! Although it was also a MCQ paper, the probability of getting it right was only a pathetic 20%!! I was stunned when I read the questions on the first page. I have 2 hours for 60 MCQs, which meant that I have 2 minutes per question, including doing a search in the book. I did sought help from the book at first, but when I found out that I have wasted too much time, I gave up.
I 'tikam' the answer for questions which I dont understand/unfamiliar with/cannot get answers for calculation problems. And sadly, I 'tikam' for more than 75% of the paper.. Really hope that luck is on my side..

*Applause*(End of whining)*Applause*

After all the shit..
This is what I hope to acheive this semester:
~SSA2211-> B+/A-
~CM1131-> B
~CM1121-> B
~LSM1401-> B-
~CM1161-> B+
Overall wished CAP: 3.5/3.56

See.. I'm not that greedy about my grades.. =P

OMG... I think I'm going to do damn badly at the organic chemistry paper tmr.. (And it's good news to SOME people!) No chemical reactions or mechanisms seem to get into my head.. I cannot remember reagents.. I blanked out when I saw so many "strangers" while going through the past year papers.. I'm so going to die when I see the paper tmr.. I think I may cry when I read the question paper because I can't answer any..

In addition, I have not touched on tmr's evening paper "LSM1401-Fundamentals of Biochemistry" since two weeks ago.. hope that all the smart people will give way for the not-as-smart people like me to at least get a B for the paper.. =P

Sigh.. no more 3.5 already la.. I GIVE UP!!!

I'm dead.. After 2 papers, I dont really think I have a chance of getting a CAP score of 3.5...
(I have to confess!)
This is because I have been slacking for the past few days since my 2nd paper. I'm so addicted to Yahoo! games.. I think no rehab center can help..
There's 2 papers this coming monday, of one which I have to compete with the smart pharmacy students. Hope that luck is with me for questions that I cannot answer! *crossing fingers* (it's a MCQ paper) And organic chemistry isn't getting into my head la!
Sigh.. it seem that the more I think I cannot get 3.5 after each paper, the more I crave for it! How? I want 3.5 but I feel that I cant..
I dunno if I want applied chem.. I dunno if I want honours.. If not, then maybe I dont need to study so hard..
Oh well, I guess I'm just a hard-core procrastinator.. Can't be helped!

Haha.. I was bored, so I was reading other people's blogs.. And I came upon Eng Hooi's blog, she took some nerd test and her nerd score was 40. Guess what? My score is better!! Lol.. Dunno if this is really true or not.. maybe you guys can go try it too..

Sigh.. I can't seem to fall asleep.. I have been lying on the bed for like 1 hour already.. Am I too stress about the paper later? I don't know.. maybe I am.. It's most probably also because I have been sleeping quite "early" for the past 1 week.. Why can't I sleep? This is so irritating.. I don't want panda eyes nor do I want to doze off during the paper..
Tomorrow's paper is SSA2211: Evolution of a Global City-State. It's actually about S'pore's history and how the different historical events made the island what it is today. The module isn't boring.. in fact it's quite interesting! We were taught to see S'pore's history in different perspectives.. there isn't much propaganda included.. All we have to do is to think of history in different lights.. which is what I hope to achieve later.. Wish me luck!!
Sigh.. Time to try to sleep again..

I wonder if I'll ever grow out of sibling rivalry. I dont know why I dont like my little sister, but I've felt like that since she was born. People always talked about 'sisterly love' but I dont think I have any for her. She's a nuisance! A spoilt brat! A thief! She annoys everyone. She's ill-disciplined. She stole my parents' love from me..
After staying away from home for long periods of time, I found out that I missed home.. I missed being with my parents, my brother and the dog.. When I'm at home, I like the presence of my parents. My brother's presence is okay with me for he seldom irritate me and he respects me as an elder sister. My sister had no respect for anyone in the house.. she always make our blood boil.. even the dog is better than her! At least the dog is cute and it doesnt annoy us.. I am just glad that my brother and I are well-disciplined or at least have respect for others.
Pa, Ma and Shao Ming, I love you all! Whiskey, you too!

P.S. I dont even care if my sister is reading this..

There's this girl in Chemistry that really piss me off.. She's such a sore eye..
Today I was in the computer lab queueing to print my report.
There was a senior in front of me and we can see that there are quite a few computers switched off because of network problems. So we stood in the lab waiting for someone else to finish their business on the computer.
Now that girl comes into the picture.. she came in looking puzzled, went to one of the computers and try switching it on.
And when she managed to get the computer to start, she turned and look at me smirkingly.
OMG!! That was a total insult to my intelligences!!
I was thinking is she stupid or illiterate? Can't she see that piece of post-it on the monitor screen? Did she think we have nothing else better to do than to stand around and pose?
So, she happily logged on still thinking that she was victorious in cutting the queue of two dumb girls who didn't bother to switch on the computer.
I almost laughed later when she discovered that the computer really had a problem.. Lol..
It was so stupid la! But still not satisfied, that girl switched off the computer and looked for the staffs there to check out what was the problem.. only to be told whatever was written on the post-it..
OMG!! Like she couldn't read and understand what's on the post-it.. What is she trying to do? Make herself look stupid to fellow Science students? Anyway, she can't be a bimbo because she not pretty..
I know that I am bad.. but can't help it.. smart alecks like her.. It isn't her first time trying to be clever in front of others.. always trying to show off her wits whenever she could.. thinking that others are dumb..
Kind of sad that I still have to suffer for another two or three years, having to see her in most of the future lectures..

Tired.. I started studying in the study rom at about 1-2am yesterday because Dina invited me.. As the time stretched longer, I became more restless and hungry and could not absorb whatever I was reading.. organic chemistry is so boring!!
Funny that I looked forward to having breakfast.. as if it's very good.. (ok la.. maybe not very bad.. but not very nice can?)
Ya.. so after breakfast, I went back to my room and fell asleep very soon.. and when I woke up it was 2-3pm already! Luckily I dont have lessons.. =P
Went tibbits shopping at Sheng Siong.. came back drenched.. (this entry is getting boring..) Showered then went back to the study room and stayed there till dinner..
Continued studying after dinner until supper!! Yay! It was again another thing to looked forward to.. =P
Read the email from Tat the Rag Chairperson.. Material engineers Start work on 21st May.. There goes my holiday already.. =(
Haiz.. now very sleepy le.. ZzzZzz... Signing offf............

Sigh.. I was feeling very sad yesterday night because of my assignment grade. Some problems.. but it's solved now.. Many thanks for the people who cared about me =)

Today I thought that I have no more lecture left.. but when I checked the IVLE, the lecturer uploaded new set of notes.. which meant that there will be at least 2 more lectures to go.. Sigh.. haven't study for the exams.. I don't have a good feeling about my CAP this semester..

Somethings to note:
I have removed music from this blog because somebody commented that the music irritates her..(even though the music could not be heard from her labtop, what an irony!)

* Helpless... *
I was shocked to hear that Dina will not be able to stay in hall next academic year.. so sad.. wonder how she'll react upon hearing it.. She cried in my room a few days ago when Blubber told her that there is nothing she could do to help.. Sigh.. This would be a greater shock for her..

Remembering the days..

-Eat breakfast together whenever Dina does not have 8am classes
-Coming back from those 6-8pm lectures and expecting the dinner Dina 'tapowed' for me
-Talking to Dina (downstairs at her window) through my window
-Rushing each other to get ready for trainings, dinner, special occasions etc..
-Gossiping about Dina in her room and mine in my room

Sigh.. So many memories.. Most of memories of Sheares Hall contains her.. so sad to see her leave.. There's nothing anyone can do now.. let alone me.. Even the loudest of Sheares Hall could not do anything.. how can my litte voice help? Feeling so helpless because of a little mistake done.. How I wish I can go back in history to make sure we printed the confirmation slip together, so that she wont print the wrong one..

* Blogging attempts *
I have found out that I have written quite a long entry yesterday after review my blog many times.. I tried to customise it but failed.. I realised that I didnt understand a thing about scripts. I searched websites with tutorials on editing scripts and changing the blogskins and stuffs.. attempted but 'Blogger' kept stating that there was something wrong with the script for the template I entered. After a few attempts, I quit trying..

But I am very happy today! I succeeded in adding a tagboard to my blog! *APPLAUSE* Haha.. feel free to comment.. =)

Oh! And Dina said she'll help me with the blogskin part during dinner.. However, the most pleasant thing to hear was that Jian Hui has finished his assignments and he can update the SECC website tonight! Yay! (although a meatball was sacrificed..)

* A skeptic's dreams *
I have limited dreams.. even so.. these are small little ones.. I'm not a person who can think of the wildest dreams to acheive.. or to plan far far beyond.. I have always doubted my own capabilities and others'.. I am not a believer but a skeptic.. I only believe when I see.. For I weigh carefully the possiblities of failing and achieving the goal. I do not fight a losing battle.

When I was asked to be the vice captain for badminton 8 months ago, I asked myself : "Can I do it? What were the qualities in me that the captain saw that could tell that I'll be a good vice captain?" I took up the post anyway, thinking that I might not be doing a lot since the captain will always be there. Just a month ago, I was approached again. This time I was asked to take up the position as captain. And I asked myself again : "Can I do it? What were the qualities in me that the captain saw that could tell that I'll be a good captain?" I pondered : " Would it be stressful? I dont even have the experience leading a team before!" And after what I have saw in the IHGs, I not only doubt myself, but the team as well.. The team I had now was only half good, how am I to ensure that the team I will have next year would be a better one? If not, how am I going to train them to be fit for the games? All these factors pulled me back from taking up the position. But yet, I finally gave in to Clarice for she had confidence in me. I've decided to give myself a chance in proving my worth. To prove to the others that I can lead the team well and we will play well in the games.

* Dilemma *
Being in SECC Publicity cell isn't that easy afterall.. especially when I'm the person who is liasing with Jian Hui (aka Jaburu) our website designer. Ernnie from marketing today asked if the website is updated because they are trying to get sponsorship from New Urban Male and they might check our website to see if we could do enough publicity for them. Thus, I've been asked to check on the website and try getting Jian Hui to update all the tabs that says 'Coming Soon'. But knowing that Jian Hui has been recovering from his fever and meeting projects and assignment deadlines, I knew it would be useless to ask him to update the website by tonight.. But I asked him anyway.. lol.. and the answer was expected.. He have a big thing due tomorrow. At this point, I was at a lost of what to do.. I would want the sponsorship but the website could not be done.. I dont want to disappoint the SECC members.. yet not adding on to the stress Jian Hui had been facing due to his deadlines and issues regarding hall application with OSA.. I really dont know what to do.. How I wish that I knew how to use dreamweaver, so that I can design websites myself and not relying on others.. Sigh..
