Somebody up there really likes me
I know that it's been quite long since my last update but lotsa of things have happened in the time and while I've been tempted to blog them all down I've been holding back cuz all the stuff I need to do. And while I've been thanking my lucky stars that I'm in Biology and not Biomed (sorry yan that I have to rub it in like that...the subjects are interesting but not the stress involved), I feel for my frens who are have a hell of a time dealing with their never ending projects with deadlines looming over their necklines. And not forgetting those irritating lab reports...
All though my frens all very ke lian now, just a note of encouragement: We can pull through this! ahah then any takers for Redang trip? ahah me and weiqi planning for fun on beach n sun! Huahua can bring her bikinis too...heez
Anyway, projects aside, I'm really happy because my Prof from last semester's UROPS nominated me to enter the NUROPS Congress (N stands for National - it involves NUS and NTU, the two other Universities in Singapore). I received a phonecall from the the Science department ppl in the middle of my Practical on Tuesday telling me about this news and that I would have to prepare a short 3 to 5 mins presentation on my project to present it to the Dean or Vice Dean i think...then they will shortlist ppl to enter the congress. So obviously I was really thrilled but also damn damn nervous...Thanks esp wendy, weiqi n xyz for making me feel better and having such confidence in me. I know you guys have loads of things to 'fan' (chinese for 'frustrated' erm...see xyz's blog http://thelast3lettersofabc.blogspot.com/ on a comical take on the origins of this work. Products of him n weiqi msn crapping during our Biophysical lecture. I'll try to fix up the links section soon but no promises =P)without me being such a whiner cum drama queen.
ahah...I think i paid Weiqi back at least...cuz being such a great fren..*coughcough, I stayed up till 3 plus to accompany her online. She was 'pia-ing' for 2 quizzes the next morn and her being sick + the last quiz just got to her...also, I was waiting for xyz's part for our project and was reading up to aid my final edits to the project. In the end, I was almost late for my 8am lecture then next day...arrived right on the dot. Demin commented that this was the first time he saw me looking so shagged...ahha...i felt like i was in a fog for the rest of the day...
anyway, we finished the project yesterday after cy came over the my lab. Handed in that stupid thing today..HAHA! Good riddance!
So, once i reached home, I was procrastinating to start on my presentation slides...had my lunch while watching Ghost in a Shell: 2nd GIG on Animax..and a good thing too, cuz while I was halfway eating my beehoon I received another call from the science department ppl again. Aha...and they told me that cuz I was from DBS (Department of Biology), I did not have to go for the selection and that I was directly chosen!!! OMG OMG OMG....once i hanged up, I was jumping nonstop. OMG OMG
Called my dad at work to tell him the good news =) so happy...wat makes this better is that the Congress is in Jan 2006 so I dun have to worry about this thing until then. WOO HOO!!
hai...but I cancelled my piano to work on those damn slides....nvm, i'll make it up by practicising real hard later...ahha =P
*********
btw, the badminton game on Friday was a great success. Damage: I broke one shuttlecock. Weiqi lost one to the stands above the court. Weitzer, Flora and Yuanwei tried to murder each other during the game.
Pounds lost: Prob alot....
Pound gained: Prob alot....due to dinner with the gang n xyz who finally rushed down.
Conclusion: Sigh.
