The end & The beginning
This is really the end of my 3 years in Temasek Polytechnic. It's been a really worthwhile time here. Though we may always nag, complain, whine about why there's work, projects, meetings, lectures, exams and useless stuff to do, blah blah...but still we miss them and now it's over. I really think that I made the right choice in coming to Poly (than a JC). Poly has allowed us to be more mature, independent, discover certain "talents" in us, gave me the opportunity to pursue some things that i may not have the chance to if I were somewhere else. It gave me a certain amount of freedom to do some things the way I want to, which is what I really love in life.
Just had my FYP poster presentation yesterday. It marked the end of our pursue for a diploma. But even though it was like the "last time" we were under their care, they still made us feel that they are really ...... i don't even know how to describe man, something like dumb. I stayed there from 9am till 5pm when finally my two evaluators came to hear me present a short 10-15 mins. what the...they emphasized on the "please come at 9am to put up your posters so that you won't disturb the rest presenting.." and yet, the problem is that everyone turned up at 9am and disturbed the rest. Everyone was crowding around the lab and who the heck can hear u present when the world is talking *not too softly* around you?! Goodness...they should have allowed us to arrange our timeslots with the evaluators ourselves, and then maybe come down an hour in advance to prepare. You don't even make any noise when u put up a poster with 6 clips! And they wasted 8 hours of my time waiting there. Besides, my evaluators promised to come down at 2pm. And instead, they went over to the other lab first. what the...okie...enough of that. anyway, seeing that my poster was so plain compared to the rest, I went to the toilet to say a little prayer before my presentation. I prayed for His favour and grace to be upon me that my poster and presentation may gain favour with my evaluators. So I'm excited to know my grade.
I have started working in CTM since 2 weeks ago as a part-time laboratory officer. I'm not involved in doing the "normal" laboratory work (that I did in SIP, though i can still help out..) but am involved in some kind of project study/research kind of thing. It's a parallel study to the current platelet contamination study they are doing now, by using another machine and technique to analyse the platelet contamination. So it's pretty good as I get to work part-time with a little bit of flexibility and freedom in a certain way (which is what i like remember?) but the working hours can get very long on some days. Like the recently week, it's been really tiring. I could work like 10-11 hours on just one day! Really want to fall flat on my bed when i reach home. *plonk* haha...but I guess things would get better...cause now it's like the initial stages. We need to work alot of hings out.
By the way, CTM has job openings. If there's anyone interested, you can give me a message (on my handphone if u have my number, or else, leave a tag..). to be more specific, about 2 job vacancies. 1 is something like a 1-year contract. and the other is a more permanant one. Not much difference, as in what u do and work as..only that..the 1-year contract is like you are actually replacing someone else till he comes back to CTM. So when he comes back, your job contract may be renewable (depending on circumstances and job performance) or you may quit and go do other stuff you want. That's it...anything more, come ask me.
Quite tired for today le...typed so much...see ya all another day!

God's
beloved one
I am going to confess that I'm his beloved one and that there's nothing that He can't give me and there's nothing that He cannot do for me.
haha..His grace and favour must be on me esp. during this period (not that other times i don't need it..). I need (no, not need. WANT) to get a really really good score for my MP report. And Favour esp. during my presentation. I'm aiming for the book prize (who isn't..) lol.
5-minute break from my report writing. Need to hand in in latest 15 hours. I need to rush. Got loads of stuff to do, edit, correct, blah blah. Lord, double my time. Oh, and help me to edit my report. I know your report writing skills and english language must be the best in this universe.

Last Day of Internship
What a day. It's more of a sad day for me than a happy one. Some people can't wait to get out of their crap internship place. But for me...it was quite a fruitful experience. I will definitely miss them....but not for too Long!..I'm accepted for a part-time project study job. So I'll get to come back. But will still miss the flexibility that I get when I was an intern then.
Another thing that's going be sad is that deadlines are approaching. What the...I'm left with like 5 days?...for the SIP logbook and report, then another 5 days for the MP report and logbook, and then another 5 days for the poster presentation. It's like super fast loh. And I still thought we had 1 week in between each. But I really can't just sit down nicely to do my reports. Everyday, I probably spend averagely 2-3 hours on the report. Everytime do about 1.5 hours then want to sleep le...then go help out here, help out there. Today one colleague asked me if I've finished my report. And when I said no, I thought i saw his expression was that kind of "she hasn't finished her report?!...then what's she doing helping others with their work?!...haiyoh...."hahaha...but never mind la...i prefer doing something active then doing something inactive. take my time, take my time.
Inspirations come at the last minute.
