TiTle :)

Have not been updating my blog, have been concentrating on my exam. Still have one more paper, but i guess i deserved a break, after the back to back 4 papers till this morning. Each time around this time, it's always a challenge for us AIESECers, or at least for me, especially this semester. With our National Conference coming up, and Exam is still on its way, it's always tough. And it have always been our culture, frustrating sometimes, not getting reply to your SMS and emails during exams. People are the factor of everything, people being the reason i love this organization so much, and also in times like these, thinking have i been doing the right thing being in AIESEC? Furthermore, when you don't have time to finish reading through your notes before the exam, you will start blamming yourself or AIESEC. No time to finish going through the notes, yet when you are pushed to such a situation, there is this voice from in within trying to challenge your passion for AIESEC, saying "See, go for IC and AIESEC, see what happens!? " The Blame Game. Blame AIESEC for my not-so-good performance in academic? For sure, no way. Contradicting , i know coz the 'voice' from in within is certainly myself too, but if i am conscious enough, i know AIESEC had certainly made my life different but enriching. It must have been my in ability to arrange my time and ....( dun think i wanna find more excuses )
At times like these, i certainly think it will be great to have some AIESECers, supporting you against the voice from in within. Humm, difficult, during exam, boom! you find no one left in AIESEC. Guess that's what making us so different from other AIESEC countries. Commitment. Responsibility. Many times, we allow our personal problems, to overtake our sense of responsibility. Blinded by those problems to see that you have this responsibilty and there are people looking up to you on your this responsibility.
But Oh well, i am still in good mood :) Have just finish 4 papers straight. Really thankful for having my 2 sisters, and Mom, never fail to believe in me. And of course my friends, as near as Singapore and as far as Germany. Couldn't have done it w/o you all. Oh, i get too carried away, i still have one more paper :S Looking forward to it and that's the end of this semester. End of this semester? Nothing to celebrate as my closest friends who i can share and care, will be leaving me for 1 semester to all around the world. I am glad and all excited for them. Can;t wait to read their experience, pictures in their email or blog. I'll be envy but certainly love to share. But thinking that i may be graduating after next semester, not having them around, and that's how it is gonna end humm..quite scary.
Till we meet again , hope you guys have a pleasant and exciting journey of discovery!
** Try to spare time to join AIESEC activities there as well yah >_<

Exam is really here

Yes, it's finally here for real. Stress is here. So much to read, so little time. My exchange student coursemates and friends are really hardworking, unlike previous semesters, exchange students are relatively more relax compared to full time here. Humm guess coz previous sem, i was stil undergrad and 2nd year, so guess people are more relax. This semester,however, the exchanger are smart and hardworking, making me very stressed, coz i study with them in Study room, realizing that they are already covering so much of pharmaco when i am still stuck with econs and immunology.I know them, nice coursemates and really enjoyed doing practical with them but Eeew..i am being really 'kiasu' !

alright, time's up. Study.

Now, Let the battle begins!

I handed in my last project of the semester yesterday, after an almost 24 hours of final battle . Yeah, blame it on our last minute work, erm, not really, we ( my partner and i ) were just too busy with some other stuff :P Me,with IC , Mid terms,Lab reports and AIESEC (:P) . And so, it was till the very very last minute..and my dear printer failed ( all S**T happens at the most critical time) , but thank goodness, my neighbour was so kind enough to help me print a 40-page coloured report! Thanks Khimpy ( a girl :P , and my EB's GF - not the green male lamb , but i m sure he is as kind if not better yah :P) I was so guilty for using so much of her ink, yet she offered me a cover plastic file for the report, cookies while waiting for the printing, to have dinner with her ( she was going to cook) , and this morning, gave me a bowl of dessert :) Of course i am guilty enough about the printer ink and didnt accept the rest except for the dessert this morning. I bought her chocolates yst, hopefully she love it ..i think she does :) Such a nice neighbour... I have wonderful neighbours this semester and also some 'bad' ones as well ... :( I lost my new pot :( And sometimes, my mug will go MIA for a night and re-appear the next morning . I don't mind sharing, as long as they return to me !!

Oh Why let the battle begin?? Haha..i usually type the title first, and went round talking about something that got nothing to do with the title, then come back and then around something else. Hahaha..I am bad with titles :S Ok Yest erm no, thursday, was the last dday of the semester. OH can you believe it!?!??!Ok may be not you, But i can't...everything is way way too fast. And IC is still so fresh in me. I am not willing to part with IC ( AIESEC International COngress in India) ! WHen i went to IC, i was just the 2nd week of the semester. Now, It's battle against the few sheets of papers in the exam hall next week. My first 'battle'will be on the 22nd. And then i will be hoping to be 'Mulan' to survive an avalanche of '- logy' papers on the 24th,25th,26th - Immunology, Pharmocology, Microbiology :S Alright, before that , i will have to do my final lab report :) Yippie! Last one.

Nothing special happened today, except, the wind is so 'friendly' and strong, fortunately the sky is not dark :) but then again, the sun is shining too bright. So, i keep pulling my window blind up and down, up and down, to feel the wind and to prevent the mighty sun from showing off his power to me. Sometimes, you really have to sacrifice what you want or bear with the 'side effects' with the things you want ( the wind and the sun, if you have the wind, then you will have to bear with the hot hot sun , if not, abandon the wind, and there'll be no hot sun as well :) And you have to be clear what you really want and know how to make your decision and choice, me, clearly i can't , so i wasted some time, pulling the blind up and down , up and down. But fortunately, while i am typing this, i realized my mistake. So, i decided to pull up my blind for the last time and then abandon the wind! :) With the sun, i can't see my com screen clearly.

Alrite, hopefully today will be my last day spending so much time on the com, doing reports and projects, after this, i 'll have to concentrate on my books, if you still see me on MSN, gimme a hard virtual smack. :) Of course i'll return your smack if i happen to be resting :) hahaha..Chao

Not my day?

I have not been updating my blog, coz i was just simply lazy :S , and the same reason everyone will be giving this time of the semester, busy :) Well, have not been doing much of studying for final exams, but a lot of readings of journals , by scientists and economists! Well, i have to say, i respect and envy their talents and ability to research, read, and write journals. I can't imagine myself doing it even after 10 or 2o years. Maybe it is still too early to say and shall not comment further coz who knows ,i'll end up doing that for life :S . For now, i just drag myself to do that, coz i simply find it so confusing, the alien scientific terms and the length of the journals burning my pocket and brain cells @_@
Ok not my day? I am disappointed with the amount of support i get from the people around me in work. I do not need help, just support, encouragement. I have so much trust and believe in what AIESEC can help me in my personal development and i really don't wish the people around me to discourage me with how easy they can get things done, when i am fighting so hard. Back to Why today is not my day? I got rejected twice by the Uni, for an office and a grant for event. The weather didnt help, with the strong wind and dark sky, making me feeling insecure. This is my weakest point ;Strong wind, dark sky, and heavy rain. But well, not totally bad rejection, we still have hope in a way, in terms of other alternatives :) I guess at the end, we have to go back to the same old saying,
IF THERE's a WILL, THERE's a WAY
I have a project due tomorrow, this project, i don't have much confidence, not that we didn't put effort, oh well, EXCUSESSSS.. I think i will use the remaining time and see if there is anything at all i can do about it.
However, on the brighter side, HF and I went to have Sushi buffet yesterday ( or was it the day before yst? Humm..) in school. One of the best thing about studying in NUS is that we have Genki Sushi in campus!! Haha, if Cheryl and Alexander knows i went for sushi buffet, i'm gonna get it from them. But well, don't think they are free that time. so :p . And oh Rene, HELP!! why is my sidebar is always way below there??

Singapore NLDS 2005 : Discovering Passion , Unleashing Potential!

OOpsh, sorry . Here's the link to SIngapore NLDS website http://www.aiesec.org.sg/ . Please look under NEWS, the first link.

And, ANyone can tell me how come my sidebar is always below at the bottom of my blog?? Help me plz. Sorry, i am not IT-savvy at ALL! i am only just ok with aiesec.net..other than that i completely dun know how. :D

I Love Mornings of a Holiday.

i just love mornings of a holiday/sunday. Peaceful, Quiet,with Soothing Music, Windy..Oh how i wish i am now in a beautiful beach, under a shady tree, watching people, families and especially children running around , playing in the water...OHhhhh..it'll be so great...DUuuMMmmmM!

Reality, my dear. Yeah, i have to finish up my forever-can never-finish lab report and project. But, it's ok, i am a student and that's one of my JD ( job description). Ah..must be too much of aiesec. Speaking abt that, i went for a company meeting with the local branch of a MNC LIfe Science company with HF, MC VP ICX. Woo..it was great! Let's hope for the best. It was just at the science park, just 5 MINUTES walk from my hostel! We even thought of taking a cab coz we thought it is at the other corner of Science Park. When we found out that if we take the short cut, it's just 5 minutes, we started to imagine what our VP Finance will say when we reimburse for the cab fare. GgagahHA.. Oh it's so great when you go to a company meeting, and you are able to really understand what they are saying about what their company do and the terms used( you know what i meant?) They were saying about Antibodies, Stain, Gel, their products and you actually click ! Before we left, we receive some gifts from the manager. SOmething i will never ever thought i will ever get. We got some note pads ( ok, nothing special..) but We also got Metabolic Pathway Chart, Cell Cyle Chart, and Alzheimer's Disease Pathway Chart(usually you only find them in your bio labs) Hahah..i started to plan where in my room shall i paste it or should i just paste in the aiesec room if we get one? I imagine what people will think when they past my room..haha. But these charts just came at the RIGHT semester!So thankful..I am studying about Alzheimer's disease this semester, and i am sure it will be of much use! ;) Hum, guess i really want to go for more Life Science comapnay meetings..hahaha ;)

The new Singapore NLDS 2005 website is up and running . Please visit and register. I have to say, i am sooo proud of booneng,huiyie, van, colin and clint! the website is sooo COOL! I really like the idea and the colours! Wow..so pleassssseeeee COme to Our NLDS 2005! One of the 4-day conference is opened to externals ( non-aiesec members) , so , my non-aiesec friends, please do register and come and see what have been making me so busy, why i am always taking abt aiesec , what makes me run for president of AIESEC in NUS and going India for conference, missing classes, what makes me always saying sorry-i-am-not-free-on-saturdays and yet i enjoy so much that i am still in this organization after 2.5 years. It's after the final exams, so, no harm experience something new, right :P It'll be in NUS campus! We will be having a Gala Dinner at night at the NUS Kent Ridge Guild House! Speaking abt this, I am really sorry to my non-aiesec friends that i usually use aiesec jargons in this blog. I'll try as much as i can explain it :D. OOpsh, a little publicity, but if you never come, you will never know. It's Up to you ! ;)
