Another Update

Update:

1) Interning at IMRE rocks. Well, the environment isn't stressful + flexible hours..so i can say that this is definitely not typical of a normal internship. Although i say I like it here, didn't really learn much stuff except for cleaning + MSE knowledge..Guess a MNC still beats research.

2) Intended to read up on next sem's stuff, but still can't find the heart to do it. haha

3) No idea what the future lie for me...Undecisive or insecure, no idea. At least I can say I am much more happier than I was 6 months ago.

Can't believe just about half the year has passed..But what had happened so far in this half seems to be too out of the ordinary. It's true that you will never know what the future lies for you, never would I have guessed the ups and downs that would happened. Felt that I have grown up a little..with all the things that had happened, memories i would have missed, memories i would have not gained...

It isn't fair to say I would prefer which outcome....I guess no point thinking about it since I could not have changed my future anyway.

To you: thank you!

GE2011?

Really amazed at how GE can induce so many changes in our neighbourhood. And also, PAP = "New Faces", Opposition = "Newbies"

:)

life has been rosy..so far but will it continue?

what is not meant to be, will not be

sigh,

what will not be mine will not be.
weeks and week of longing, but it ain't gonna be happening
screwed up plans, hopes dashed
and i could only blame the world

one step at a time, i guess

Bo Sch

Yeah and it has been a whopping 2 weeks after my internship has started. I guess that the working environment at Bosch doesn't seem too bad, but I can't really judge since this is the first time I am working at a MNC. However, I do realised the security within is quite tight..

Anyway, after 2 weeks of lobo-ing i might have more work coming up. Supply chain management is a rather interesting concept. To be able to efficiently divert resources to maximize customer satisfaction, along with reduce time lags and what-nots, to reduce the inventory cost due to stock withholding, transportation cost while maximizing revenues - all that is so much different from the stuff i am studying. I guess managing stuff is just much more fun than dealing with inanimate objects and equipment (SEM,TEM blah blah).

And after a HTHT session with fellow MSE peeps, there are much more stuff to be done and experienced, but to summarise: males are dense creatures.

A New Chapter ?

I guess I had come to a new stage in my 4-year long undergraduate life.

Away from the mindless numbling studying, lab work, tutorial cycle certainly helps in relieving my study fatigue - I hope

Really long for the 3 months of study break during internship, followed by SEP. Somehow I feel that this semester is the longest of all - Modules taken (essentially) by myself, coupled with negative emotions, and of course module mapping/sep registration. Looking back, didn't really figure out what have I really accomplished.

3 more papers, and 5 days to go! Tomorrow will be better!

2/5

At the point of writing, I have 3 more papers to go! 3 more papers and yet I feel like caving in, giving up and not revise anymore. All the memory work is driving my mind close to saturation point, coupled with some other unwanted untimely thoughts which i ought to leave till after my exams are over.

Tried studying in school, not as productive as I imagine, which is to be expected as all my problems dwell within my own mind....(at least, better than at home)

Felt extremely stupid glancing at the phone every now and then. Avoiding and longing at the same time...Lying to myself, perhaps

Irregular sleep patterns dominates and a short attention span w.r.t to notes and tutorials

Just want to have a break from everything, snug up and read a book, Starcraft II the entire day, or to finish up the amassed TV/movies and not to worry about any consequences

But, I know I would regret not putting in effort.

<\rant>

STARCRAFT II: roar!

PS: exchange confirmed! hooray! :D now to worry about $$$$

Internship, woohoo!

Yay secured an internship @ Robert Bosch. 1 less worry on my mind!

Good luck to Justin & Lionel! (they won't be reading this anyway)

忙盲茫

忙

最近比较忙，比较忙，比较忙。。。不知不觉又到了学期的一半。
每天都在做同样的东西， 不是在温习， 就是在帮别人温习。
忙着也好， 不会去胡思乱想。 时间也会过得比较快。
如过我忘了感谢某某人，对不起！

盲

盲目地活着：我不想那么做。 要有梦想，才能有个目标。有了目标，才能有向前（不是钱！！）冲的干劲。
盲目地追着金钱，荣誉，爱情是我不想要的。凡是都要有个平衡。
我不想为了活着而活着。

茫

在茫茫人海中，结识到现在所认识的朋友。有一点不可思议，一点匪夷所思。
在茫茫人海中，也有可能迷失自己。
在茫茫人海中，可能看不清楚方向，

在茫茫人海中，也有可能看不见你。

pissed

damn pissed. why people just refuse to confirm their attendance.

HOORAY HOORAY

Hooray hooray. 1 less thing about sep to worry about since mapping is more or less done. Gave up trying to take lessons in german. Kinda disappointed but relieved at the same time.

Kinda want to think less but in the end i end up 胡思乱想 even more. -_-

SEP o SEP

"even the basic German you would learn in a course would not be sufficient to communicate properly in an academic environment."

this sentence pwned my SEP mapping. Realistically, I was afraid of this happening but for the mapping to be shot down at such an early stage, it might be a blessing in disguise.

Regardlessly, still feel very very demoralised so far....How to map......Sigh.

I guess 船到桥头自然直 ? Hopefully everything will be fine when i go over and the experience will much much compensate for the whatever sacrifice I've made....

The half-an-year update

Woohoo it is another regular biannually maintenance of this site. I've even forgotten the URL of my blog.

Anyway, nothing much gets done nowadays, school work wise. Can't seem to focus on my priorities, keeping thinking about stuff not related to school work. I dread going to lectures, listening to them, doing tutorials and (god-forbid) lab reports. Now I have no idea why all that is going on, probably too much going on in my head. Probably too much useless thoughts recycling itself.

I get the sense of accomplishment from finishing a piece of work, but the feeling of not being able to share it with someone else sucks.

I realised, upon reading my earlier entries, I complain a lot. Guess I have either 1) grown older and wiser 2) Lowered my expectations. Or perhaps as one grow older, you seem to 看开 more and treasure more. I hope I am not too late in realising that.....

I promise to update more often!!!!!!

What I hate about writing cheat sheets

1) The fear of putting not enough information down on the a4 double-sided piece of paper. the word 'fear' is specifically used here. (ok, the fear of losing out, i.e. kiasuism)

Situation 1:

Me: Oh my, i actually forgot to put that equation hidden in the corner of the page under that picture at font size 6 down! Damn! The same equation which prof *** didn't say is important!

random person 1: Haha. Too bad. I've written in font size 1 so i can put everything down. Now look I have my ultra high magnification magnifying glass with me so i can see everything!

2) the feeling that you had put too much information down. Like the random person 1 above, it means that your cheat sheet is barely readable and most likely will be of no use when panic strucks and renders you blind.

3) when everything is completed, and at the last minute, then you realise something should be inside.

Situation 2:
random person 2: let's compare cheat sheets!
random person 2: you mean u didn't put derivation of the equation #10902901 in?? it is absolutely important and will come out!!
Me: Noooooooooooooo! *hurries to squeeze a small spot out to insert said derivation

4) because of (3), a small empty space is left out just for emergencies. However, it is never used and your cheat sheet now looks ugly

5) A perfectionist will aim to seek a balance between aesthetics and information loading. The constant dilemma on whether to squeeze into that particular small space for another equation or to let it be and use another line.

6) Time spent writing: 10%. Time spent reading up: 50%. Time spent writing this entry, msn, fb-ing, lying on bed wondering why the sky is not red: 40%

7) After the test, you realised you hadn't refer to the cheat sheet even once.

Something to say

Short Term Goals are gooooood.

Today I've decided to just finish my 2102 webcast.
And Omg, i can even fall asleep for the webcast.

Bravo to my lecturer who speaks like a burst-fire gun.
