I've been watching the Winter Olympics torino 2006 and I've always been fascinated by the skating catogory. So, who is this Michelle Kwan anyway? To me, she is the most graceful skater in the history of figure skating. Everytime I watch a performance, I can't help but compare it to hers. She was sadly, robbed twice of an Olympic gold medal by two 15 year olds. Even until now, I still don't understand why Tara Lipinski won the gold in Nagano instead of her. Torino's ending tmr, so while I still remember, here is an autobiography about the life of Michelle Kwan. Its quite long, so watch it only if you have time. Its a reminder of how you should be pursuing your passion and your dreams instead of medals - You may gain results, but you will not gain the admiration of others.

This is a post which aims to motivate the owner of this blog to study and do well in her paper later no matter what the odds are. Even though she has only studied half of the notes, have not done the past year papers and have not been dilligent in her revision of this topic.

I will conquer the pinnacle of corrosion and material selection!

I really think I have split personalities. The recent fad is, naturally, the Johari window and up till now, NO ONE has chosen the adjectives which I have chosen for myself. This proves that I am a really complex person who probably take on different personas when I am interacting with different people. I am Pei Zhi when I'm with my school friends - highly motivated, occasionally slacking, opinionated, friendly. I am Christy when I'm with my gamer friends - crazy, attention seeking, a little of an airhead and complex. I really wish that the exams will be over soon so that I can really do what I wish to do. Examinations are so not high on "the list of things that I want to do before I am 30".

此时此刻

想必有别人在你心里

但我却没怨言地陪在你身边

是我傻了吗?

还是世界已变了样

也许这一切只是我的幻觉

无人知晓的滋味

已经渐渐地麻木了我的心

我早已厌倦了这种感觉

想寻找一个能让我停留的避风港

在爱与不爱中徘徊着

三个人又是多么的不快乐

不做情人也能够做回朋友吗？

我在这等到天已经灰暗了

等待着期待已久的答复

让我继续走完人生的路程

在那风和日丽的刹那间

我发誓会把你忘了

No hopes, but there are two more papers left to go. Thats right, 1 down, 2 to go. I'm quite happy with my QAAS paper today frankly, besides forgetting to draw the R chart and the killer MCQ questions, I don't think I screwed up that badly. Thats good, ne? So, what am I doing now? I'm supposed to be studying for corrosion but I am watching America's Next Top Model. Today's episode is kinda cool! They went to London and there is paparazzi EVERYWHERE. Imagine living like that, I'd imagine that it would be kind of stressful. You can't even go to the local grocery store in shorts, a sloppy t-shirt to buy beer. And they had to take a photoshoot naked in a phonebooth together and someone farted. LOL, good job. But I love the photoshoots so far, I think its going to be great, except for Jayla. WHY did she lose her spunk?! Its the only thing that made her standout and now she just kinda feels "bleh".

Anyway, today I reached school around 11. Bugged my dad to send me to school because I wanted more time to study. He was mourning over the death of two of his darling fishies. A chinese koi died yesterday and this morning, my big ass luohan fish died. Well, their deaths put him in a terrible mood and mum and I had to struggle to get out under his temperament early in the morning. Even eating zui kweh next to him was an ordeal because he kept complaining about how the fishes shouldn't have died. He only stopped after my mum said, "Die then die la, you think your luohan can live till 99 years old meh?" Yup, way to go mommy!

Anyway, met up with Veronica in school because she was the only one in school then. The first thing Veron did was to spill coffee all over herself as she reached over to look at the question which I was explaining to her. Luckily, her sweater was on her lap, if not I am sure that she would have scalded herself. That girl, she is so cute, after she did that, she kept on saying that it is a bad omen and basically scaring herself. <_<

Kexin came later and we had lunch. And juice. Somehow her papaya juice cost 75 cents because the uncle gave her back 25 cents. Maybe today papaya juice got 25% discount.. Or maybe the uncle is PERVERTED. hahahaha. Mugged till 2pm, trying to cram in everything into my pea brain. I kept asking Yanfang to do question 6 but she kept forgetting.. Hehehe, thank god it did not come out or I will chase her with a toy hammer..

So, what do I have next up my sleeve? Scheduled on fri is of course, Corrosion exam. Then, saturday is THE BIG DAY. My 21st BIRTHDAY! Wheeeee! Time to send out maps to the party to those who has requested, sorry for the delay..

Time to mug, yet again! Hohoho, tis the season to be mugging falalalala lalalalala... ciao!

Yesterday, 20th Feb 2005, I bought a new shiny pen with blue black ink from the CO-op shop. It was a really smooth Uni-Signo pen that cost me $2.00. This pen accompanied me as I wrote 5 chapters of QAAS notes and tutorial. Sadly, fate dictated that I will lose it today. Let us observe 1 min of silence for my poor pen. I have never felt so lost without this pen. Even though I have bought an identical one, I shall never forget you. So long and good bye..

The night is still young, yet as time ticks mercilessly, I find myself thinking about what tomorrow would bring. Tomorrow often signifies a ray of hope, a beginning of a new day. However, this is one time I do not want to see tomorrow coming so soon, because tomorrow, Sylvester, aka noodleboy will be leaving Singapore to further his studies in kangaroo land.

As much as I wish him all the best in his studies, I can't help but feel a pang of sadness echo in the depths of my heart. I don't remember how long ago it was when I met this crazy chap at the Khabal and paGn forums. Together, we spamed the forums, we flamed many retards and did the most ridiculous stuff. I will never forget egames, nor 10v10 matches and all the gay shit I had to put up with.

Then came SS, where we also had our share of fun and wackiness. You were the one who did not want a promotion because you wanted to be the only private in the clan. Oh and how could I forget our time at Le Viet, where we were ill treated by *ahem*. Making and eating the biggest bowl of beef noddles I have ever seen in my life.

Now that I think back, its been a really long time. We took our O levels together. When I needed the internet in the middle of the night, you told me to come to Buttz house where you were. There were so many things, yet there is so little time. Your entire panadol fiasco...

Nonetheless, I wish you happiness over in Aus. Leave the unhappy things behind in Singapore and try not to fuck things up too much over there yeah? Remember your friends who will be awaiting your return to Singapore...

Boys and girls, once again, its THAT time of the year! The joint admission exercises, commonly referred to as "a parent's nightmare" has come to Singapore Polytechnic.

Being the usual KPO, I have once again "volunteered" my services at the JAE. Its here that you get to meet people from all walks of life, all subjected to the merciless jurisdiction of the education system. Thats right, I have met them all. From the shy to the snobbish, from the insecure to the elites. Chaperoned by their parents, aunties, brothers and sisters, these candidates come from far and wide, all with the common goal of selected the right course to continue their torturous education career.

In Singapore, education is a BIG deal. At least to parents. Often, I see a worried parent approaching me for enquiries while her child follows behind her like a zombie. Sometimes I wonder if the parents are more interested in the course than the child.

Looking back at my year 1 days, my parents weren't that kanjiong about my polytechnic education. In fact, even now, they haven't even asked if I have applied to University or what course am I even applying to. The choice to study and learn has always been mine and I guess I am thankful for that. It would suck terribly to choose a course in which you have no passion in. Parents, cut them some slack! If they are artists, don't tell them to choose engineering just because there are better prospects! Even if they get sucky results, they will end up with no prospects, so might as well respect their wishes and let them live their dreams.

As it is every year, the HOT HOT HOT diploma of choice is the Bio related field - Biotechnology and Biomedical Science. With a cutoff point and intake of 11/100 and 9/65 respectively, it definitely ranks as one of the hardest to get in course ever. Still, I am constantly fascinated by people with a L1R4 of >18, asking me about biotech and biomed. I mean, its like you will NEVER be considered, so why don't you set your sights lower? Passion is one thing, but being realistic is another. What makes you think that without the proper basics of mathematics and science, you can succeed in that course, just based on passion alone? Sure, you may be able to learn and excel if you can get into the course but honestly, you should have done so already when you sat for O levels.

On the other hand, I'm quite glad that the people asking about Chemical Engineering seem quite normal and hardworking. On the other hand, it would be hard to tell, just based on how they act and look. Hopefully they keep the standard high. *smiles* Like what one of my lecturer was wondering, just how much prospects are there in the biotech field? Biotech is a very specialized course. Its mostly R&D and seriously, biopolis does not have the capacity to take in that many diploma holders. It would be saturated soon at the rate they keep churning out students and they would soon find themselves jobless after graduation. The bottomline for me is whether they can sustain the interest to motivate them to work hard and achieve good results for 3 whole years. Since it is a specialized course, they have to continue being interested in it even after graduation and throughout their working life. If they can truthfully say that they can, then I am definitely 100% behind you. If not, following a trend is useless and would only end in tears.

I know I know, the correct term is "Monday blues". I think I can apply that to everyday of the week though. Well, lets see now..

Monday: Start of the week! *blue*

Tuesday: 4 more days to go! Why me?? *blue*

Wednesday: Oh god oh god why is friday so far away??? *blue*

Thursday: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! *blue + red*

Friday: Its finally friday but there is SO much work to do! *blue*

Saturday: Oh no tmr's sunday and I haven't started on my assignments! *blue*

Sunday: Tomorrow's monday.... *blue*

Maybe this is why many people I know cite "blue" as their favourite colour. Because working and studying in Singapore is too stressful, everyone is always blue. Okay I know I'm lame, but hey, its 12.30 am! I have Mass Transfer B class early at 8am tomorrow. *blue* I really think that my lecturer is a great guy, but he is just too naggy! He beats my mum hands down at nagging and that is no mean feat.

Anyway, now that I have changed my layout of the blog, feels so much more energetic just looking at the electric pink colour. I am superstar! Me! I was just thinking about my personality and it struck me that if my classmates came to this blog, they probably would not believe that I'm such a hyper, corny and lame person online. Oh well, split personality syndrome. *giggles*

I really should do some work. There are a whole lot of work waiting to be done and here I am, blogging away on cyberspace. Seems like my entire world revolves around school work now. I really wonder if I am up to the university level of stress. Throughout my poly life, I did not really get any serious bouts of depression. But I'm just afraid, afraid that once I go to the University, I wouldn't be able to handle the stress and end up repeating what I did in Secondary school. I'm thankful that I have Michael and some very wonderful friends who help me to relieve my stress. Hopefully, I get to be in the same school as them in future so that I can continue to make their lives miserable! *evil laughter*

Application to University is now officially open. Needless to say, there has been a lot of discussion regarding "results" and "university". I have not applied to any yet, but I think I will do so, that is, once I actually have the inspiration to write the admission essay.

As I skipped from blog to blog, reading about the emotions that others are experiencing now, I can't help but feel strongly about certain things that seem to pop up here and there. One of these are the supposed segregation in a class between the "smarties" and the "mediocres". Why the need for this distinction? (haha pun.) Many of my smartie friends often try to play down their results because they feel that it is the only way to get into their circle of friends without being viewed as a freak of nature. However, stereotypes still prevail, and the"mediocres" will always feel that they are inferior and think that the smarties are just spiting them. Herein lies the dilenma: If you act normal, people think u are proud. If you act humble, people think that you are making a dig at them. If you ARE humble, people think that you are just acting. So tell me, HOW SHOULD THEY BEHAVE TO PLEASE YOU?

For me, I don't really give 2 hoots about what people think about me. I used to think so, and it hurts really badly. Of course, constructive critism is always welcomed, especially from my close friends. *smiles sweetly*
