Gosh. I'm so tired !

*Wink* tml is friday and weekends is just 1 day away.. WoOoO ! This week is rather fast compared to last week, I dun know why but hahahhaha time past quickly.. I start to love my class and appreciate everyone for their knowledge and we are starting to CLICK ! Hell yeah ! This week's problems were all ok except for GENOMICS. I just finished my RJ which took me about 2 1/2 hours to do it. Problem was one of the hardest and tedious ! Gosh.. I hope my RJ is one of the better ones cause I really put in heart and soul to research and understand every single shit I found.

My passion for science hasn't fade, not even a single inch. However, I feel kinda sick of science modules, the problems or rather topics are not interesting. I'm still waiting for NEUROBIOLOGY !! Btw, I read the article on 1st batch IPBMS students @ monash.. They seem to be enjoy their stay there but switching back to traditional lecture-tutorial method is kinda challenging. Notes are given to them before hand. I'm imagining myself over @ monash, erM.. kinda cool and definitely gonna miss every single thing in Singapore ! *STOP* Advanced dip is not done yet ! =) I just cant imagine how is it gonna be, living in aussie for 1 year, feeling excited and reluctant simultaneously.

Friday ! Guitar session with my dudes. Cool ! probably gonna have supper and another strumming session maybe @ west coast park? Having this night as my motivation to continue another week of studies, I feel more enlighten and less stressful.. *smiles*





Friemily is my Motivation (Friends & Family, My creation ^^)
Studies is a Obligation
Together, it flows as a Continuation
to reach my Destination (MONASH !!!)
Fulfilling my Aspiration
Which has been a Contradiction

A great start !

DAMN ! lol I'm going crazy soon.. Just finished a 500 words RJ on proteins sorting. It's seems easy but when comes to explanation, there are just too many terms and steps to state. Worst still the question was like "What do you learn about proteins sorting?" and of course I need to write a good RJ to cover the essential aspects. I hope this allows me to get my A for this week. Was rather shocked, cause last week I expected some Cs but it turned out to be a great start, a great drive that induces persistance in me. Genomics - A, Anatomy & Physiology II - A, Proteomics - B, Medical Microbiology - B, Lab Management - not out yet. Gonna try to achieve my target GPA for this semester, 5 modules !! target GPA will be 3.6 or 3.7. It's not easy of course and that's y I gonna challenge myself for that..

Esther Ong is leaving.. Basket ! she is the nicest facilitator every in RP but its ok, I still can consult her on msn regarding GENOMICS, can chat chat too. Wish her all the best in US. She will be gone in May 5th, for 1 1/2 years. I will really miss her remedial classes. ARGHH helps me to achieve all my As in UT. Kinda sad that she leaving T_T !!

Weekends, I went to boon lay ah ma house again ! As usual, played basketball with my cousin, zai and boy. Had so much fun, playing "ABC", "HORSE" and stuff. Everyone knows I'm going over to aust for degree, I dun need anything but motivation that builds up my confidence. It will be hard on my parents cause 50k is not a small sum, my grandparents sponsoring 10k each sia, kinda feel like a burden to them. I feel so fortunate to have so many people supporting me, providing me with advices and financial support. I cant stop talking about monash uni. CAN I? DAMN IT !

Complaints, Complaining, Complained ! DAMN !


Look @ this book of mine ! Back to Anatomy & Physiology but this time is part 2.. I hate this module hell lots, DAMN I wonder how I gonna survive through this semester. Next sem, the modules seems more interesting than this sem's (looking forward to bioinfomatics and neurobiology, SO COOL LAH). VERY DRY module, boring to the core. It's like merely mermorising the whole book lah and for this module, no one can ever survive without a book. That's y this book is on my desk now, carried all the way from woodlands (is not light ok).

Wednesday will be my most hated day, no drive to go school, no motivation, DRY module. The whole [S]chool of [A]pplies [S]ciences isnt in school except us. The IPBMS people, mugging in class, busy doing presentation slides, no time to even have lunch and the worst thing is all my friends are having their free day on wednesday. My current classmates, I'm not yet close with them so haiz ate with my FYP teammates. Today, this damn lesson ends @ 5pm (I hope not every lesson ends at this time). Totally shagged. I hate being in this class man, firstly too competitive, too smart excluding me and I wonder why can I enter this class, finally it's damn stress being in this class.

Having dark circles liao lah. SO TIRED every damn day, I really envy those having 2 free days. SLACK sia. Kinda regret going for IPBMS but its for my future sial, since I signed up, gonna endure till next sem, this sem the modules just SUCK ! Boring sial wat medical microbiology, anatomy and physiology, proteomics, genomics.. OMG BORING ! Ok I'm done complaining. I'll be back soon ! =D

BACK to this thick book ! (It's a good book anyway, I gonna fail without this book) LOL..

A whole new chapter commences tommorrow..

This few days, I kept whinning about school.. I guess I still haven wipe off the mindset of me studying 3 days instead of 5 but ok now the fact is, I'm studying 5 days. NO MORE FREE DAYS. wake up man ! *Slap Slap* I had an enjoyable time over the weekends haha, including last friday. We shall make it out weekly routine, same place, same time (after that supper only if simon got car) for some guitar sessions. Obsess with drums, not really guitar though but learning guitar can be a form of entertainment for myself.

A whole new year for me, need to really work even harder.. No excuses though I'm good at finding excuses to slack. Consistent participation in class, A MUST ! I've not been talking much last semester though i did up to expectations, that's because I burnt my nites for the tests. Daily grades plays an important role too, if only I participate well last sem. I will have gotten at least a 3.6 GPA. My class filled with dean's list (top 5%) pple (maybe I'm one of them) LOL think too much, questions posted might not be easy to answer.

Today my cousin's birthday, had a feast @ my grandma house. Enjoyed myself but suddenly out of nowhere, kids started fighting.. LOL normal lah but my uncle fears me man.. Seriously.. Din saw how he disciplined his child but the loud crying kinda recalls, how my parents used to whack me LOL.. I guess every child will experience it. Ok enough of that. Time to catch some sleep.

Holidays ended,
A whole new year,
A whole new chapter,
but nothing has changed,
back to Reflective Journal, Daily grades and tests
which will again
stress me ! Awaiting for June holidays..
Till then..............
Study hard & smart,
finally Good luck =D

I'm screwed..

Totally broke down, I spent my last 2 nites doing my professional profiling report. Haiz, I overrate myself thinking the report is nothing but LOL to my surprise, it's really hard, need to follow a certain damn format, categorize them under different parts such as biography, careers, challenges etc.. it requires hell lotsa thinking and sentence forming.. Furthermore minimum, 2000 words. No. of words doesnt really scares me cause I did 1400 words for the past 2 nites. I just feel damn sick thinking and planning the whole report. It's killing me. T_T Alright, not going to brood over it, anyway I'm not submitting eventhough the dateline is tml.

On tuesday nite, went K-ing with my bros, guess wat? 8 hours of singing and ran out of water. we had hell lotsa fun, choosing songs, joking, ran out of tune LOL, 7pm - 3am. We made our $23 bucks worth it man. One night of K-ing made my day =) Thanks guys. Hehe ! go again if we have time.

2 more days to my 3rd year in RP. Feel so stressed ! Definitely, my class will be filled with competitive peeps, these classmates whom i gonna meet this coming monday will be with me for the rest of study life in RP. NO MORE CHANGE OF CLASSES. Why? Because THERE'S ONLY ONE IPBMS CLASS ! =) =) =) Guys, I'm not motivated to study yet, is there any idea i can motivate myself to work hard for another year. Post it on my tagboard. Supposedly, I'm studying 3 days, now BACK to 5 days, worst still I have my FYP to handle, every wednesday after school ! 4.30 - 5.30 ! I'm screwed but for my future, I've got no choice ! Wednesday and one more bloody day, I got to DRAG myself to school again. Haiz. I've done it for the whole year 2. NOT AGAIN !

Ok ! Let everything be natural alright~~ By the way, I really feel very pampered by my parents and grandparents. Every night my daddy will buy dinner (more to supper) for me. These few nites I have been eating sting ray and chicken wing rice + fillet.. My favourite ! Today, my parents not at home, my grandma cooked mee for me. I'm like a prince lah wait for pple to serve me. Cannot continue any further if not I will die when I'm studying overseas. Gonna bathe and meeting my bros fo jaeng jaeng jaeng (guitar) session. Surprise for yaoxing also cause tml is his birthday. Will be back blogging again if I have time.. till then, Peace out ! =D

The choice is RIGHT !



Yeah, look @ this ! Monash University, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. Now, I'm sure I've made the RIGHT choice and not let this chance slip away. Thanks to all supportive people out there, I would like to thank you guys for giving me suggestions especially Esther Ong, Mr Lai, my parents, my brother and my grandparents. I had a long chat with Esther Ong the other day and she suggest, I should take up if it doesnt affect my overall GPA. Talk cock along the way as well, she experienced studying in aust as well (Sydney) so I think she is the best candidate to be my consultant =P and truely It helps alot to finalise my decision.

My parents, brother and grandparents are providing me with financial support and I hope I can return with my wonderful grades. My brother said I'm the only one who can study U in the family and no matter what he will support me all the way. I'm very touched ! I dun agree I'm the only one, I believe if he wants to continue his studies after army, he can study U as well and he will have my full support. =D I hope he do consider to further his studies, with his results, any poly can accept him.

Last Saturday, YaoXing accompanied me for the interview session with Mr Lai. He has his motive as well. LOL Laughing but also I need to thank him also lah ! Thank you YaoXing ! But after the interview, we had a long chat planning for our future and seriously that long chat really enlightens me alot alot. It also opens up YaoXing's mind and help to pursue his passion but I would recommend him to work for his future first b4 his passion. Even Mr lai thinks that the degree, I'm taking is not bad so I dun think I've made the wrong choice, furthermore it's a 1 year degree so WHY NOT ? =D Overseas experience only happens once in a life time.

I had fun over the weekends too, window shopping with my bros, Bird, Jun and Simon. I saw the dunks I always wanted but I saw another pairs that caught my sight.. Much more expensive but I'll consider. LOL Had dinner @ HANS and had ice cream @ mac. Lotsa fun and jokes, YEAH ! LOL yesterday, had a basketball session with my cousin, FUN ! din know my cousins are good at BB, shooting damn power damn zhun.. As usual, the whole family will sit outside the house and talk, chat and gossip. 1st floor mah, childrens can run around outside, adults can enjoy the wind and crowd around for a chat. =D Happy family !

I've decided, my route, my future, my profession !

Recently, I received an email stating that I am selected for IPBMS - "International programme of Biomedical Sciences". In short, I'm offered a place in Monash uni located at Melbourne. But to be able to study there, I must first fulfilled the following criterias.

(1) Successful completion of the Diploma in Biomedical Sciences, RP
(2) GPA of 3.0 or better in DBMS from RP
(3) Successful completion of the Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences, RP

Extra modules to be taken:

rDNA Technology (Taken)
Phamarcology & Toxicology (Taken)
Bioinformatics ($1000)
Anatomy & Physiology II ($1000)
Biomedical Sciences ($1000)
Neurobiology ($1000)

Registration Fees: ($1500)

Total fees: $5500 for Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences

This will allows me to gain direct entry to third year in Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences. After graduating from Monash Uni, the two qualifications I will be achieving are:

· Advanced Diploma in Biomedical Sciences (3 years)
· Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (1 year)

Tuition fees: A$21,000 (approx. S$27,300)
Estimated living expenses: A$15,000 (approx. S$19,500) for the course duration

I feel happy and sad, I dun know why but happy is because I'm being selected my the long awaited programme since end of year 1. SAD, cause actually i'm studying 3 days and now for both semesters, I have to study 5 days, including doing my FYP, which means will be damn tiring and I need to persevere till the end of my race. After RP, I go straight to army for 2 DAMN years, i guess during these 2 years i needa really revise everything once again so I have no difficulty when doing my degree over at aust. I intend to do notes and file them up nicely. =D

My friends, have you guys ever seen me so hardworking before? as in willing to scarifice my time for extra modules, giving up gaming for education, doing my own notes, study study & study, burn my nite just for a test weighing 17% of the overall grade etc. Actually, I cant believe myself able to scarifice my slacking time for education. I actually dun give a damn about studying when I was in sec 2. DAMN, something really changes me alot but I believe it is changing for good. Someone actually inspires me to change for the better. Maybe when I was young I dont see the importance of education and anyone, regardless of relatives despised me, taunted me, compared me with other smart asses. Now, I wont let anyone despise me, even my parents. Mum, Dad and bro, I will do you proud. I vow to.

Friends, time flies and now I've met you guys for more than 5 years (1G is 7 years). For AH PENG, this friend of mine is special, I met him since Primary 1 so its 13 years. =D I believe, its time for you guys to organise a party for me before I leave for aust in 3 years time. HAHAHA ! Kidding.. I'm thinking about it now and definitely I will miss you guys alot alot. Ok dun think so much, for now I just need to focus on my LAST year in RP. Guys wish me luck. I need it !
