Chalet's over, so i guess the last event that I can officially gather with most of my class people would be during grad night. Anyway, looking back at the past 2 years in tjc, I can firmly conclude that my decision to go tjc is the right choice. I can still vividly remember this time of the year, 2 years ago. Post O's. I was struggling to decide where to go. Was it going to be vjc or tjc. But i chose to go with most of my friends to tjc, quite to my parents dismay. Anyway there i went on a journey of no return. Entered tjc and I've got to admit i felt pretty comfortable because of the many familiar faces. As for subject combination, I didn't really know what i wanted to do. And so once again, i got influenced by friends. John wanted to do PCBME, so yes, i went to do it with him. LOL. I sound like a mindless freak. I could still remember the trauma i went through initially. Everyone's timetable ended at 3 promptly. But guess what? Mine ended at 6! Yes, i felt like a lifeless creature. The worst was yet to come. I can still remember how horribly i did for tests and exams. As for lessons, i had to struggle to even keep awake because i had difficulty understanding and i was darn tired! I was really demoralized then. Really felt like dropping a subject. But guess it's the friends that I've made in the class that really gave me the courage and motivation to continue. That's what i love about 01/06. We're like one big family. There's this strong bonding among ourselves. Yes we do form cliques among ourselves, but we never fail to consider everyone as an important entity of the class.

In 01/06, there is no exactly a quiet moment. Every little free time we had together is filled with laugher. I don't remember laughing so much in my life before. It actually taught me to be more optimistic about life. There's no necessity to get all tensed and stressed up over everything. We can turn almost everything under the sun into a joke. Although our indecisiveness do make me feel quite pissed off sometimes, i guess i miss it still.

Many people out there perceive 01/06 as the "nerd" class. But i can't help but to feel quite disturbed by these remarks. Yes the people here are darn smart. >6A1s is quite common. But there are people in the class that are not born as smart. A.k.a. Me. To me, i feel that this class excel because we do assist each other and perhaps we do get our priorities right. When it's time to study we do put in the effort to do so. (Even thought sometimes we tend to be lazy and slack away) Anyway, no matter how much they traumatize me with their superb grades, i still love them. I've heard some of my friends feel demoralized because they claim they pulled the class average down. But hey, does it really matter. We aren't really bothered by those class rankings, that initially serve to spur us on but as time went by, didn't really bothered us. Rankings and statistics are nothing but a list of numbers used to discriminate everyone. So, i really feel proud to be in 01/06 and love you people.

Some messages to some people in the class:
Vin, Nerd, Ye Wei, Shan, QiHui-- a.k.a. my b****ing partners. Thank you guys for playing a BIG role in my JC life. Thanks for all the nonsense conversations and meaningless things we've done together. I just realised that I've been having lunch with you guys like almost EVERYDAY of these 2 years. And thanks for all the motivation through b****ing you guys gave me thoughout these 2 years. Outings are all great. Yes we do complain a lot but hey, i really enjoy your company. It's not the things we do that matter, instead, it's the people that accompanied you that matters. I really can't imagine life without you guys!

John-- My classmate for eons. Thanks so much for being my source of inspiration motivation. You'be been a really good friend and god (as all the TKD people call you), must not forget me after you become a doctor one day kz! Must give free consultation!

Ilyana -- Special thanks to you who was in my PW and dustbin group! Thanks for the dedication and I really couldn't have done so much without you! =D

Dar Dar!-- PW was made a real enjoyable experience with you! I miss the Raffles Place frenzy over sotong and fried mars bars and how we couldn't resist the temptation of shopping. And not to forget our efficiency! We rock as a team. And jia you in your attempt to conquer number 1,2,3 and 4! And keep building up your PF (joking!)

Wan Ting and Wan Yee--the sisters that differ greatly in size (joking!=D), Thanks for everything. The tattoo, the laughter, and all the screaming. The little thrills in life.

Next are the TJC ARC people which also contributed to my library of pleasant memories.
Vicki Chan Hui Qing-- Known you for... 6 years?? Very very long le. Anyway, AR would never be the same without YOU. A friend that share the same passion in shooting as me. Initially joined ARC to slack, but you together with Kel has made everything so enjoyable! Thanks for being my inspiration and motivation too, and not to forget all those fun time spent together. All the nonsense and stupid things we've done together will forever remain in my heart! Cheers to many many years of friendship!

Ernest-- Known you for only like 1.5 years but I must say that you have been a great great friend! Perhaps the few people who share the same passion in shooting as me! Sharing my workload in ARC and making my life so much easier. A good friend to talk to! Good luck for everything in the future! Jia You!

To those not specially mentioned, please don't feel left out. I love ya all too! Everyone that has crossed my path in my life is important to me. So I really appreciate and love everyone.=D

Have been spending my whole afternoon watching youtube videos. I think vincent's right, 星光幫 is really good. Hahaz. Lol.

Anyways A's are officially over for me. So yes i feel liberated. So long are the days where i cant help feeling guilty for not studying. And yes no more tests and exams for at least 2 years. So thats the nice part. But somehow, when i am studying, i want freedom. But when i really get it, i am not as happy as i think i should be. Strange enough. Perhaps thats human nature. Anyway headache's never ending. The next thing i have to fret about is which university course i will study. Frankly speaking i really do not know. People tend to get greedy, especially in this competitive world of ours. There are courses that i am interested in, but that very often is NOT a feasible choice. So i have to compromise. Tentatively, i think my few choices are: (in no order of preference)

1) Double degree in Chemical engineering and Business Administration
2) Medicine (for some reason)
3) Chemical Engineering
4) Chemistry
5) Pharmaceutical Science

But it all depends on my grades next year. Scholarships are also a great hassle. There are so many of them that i do not know which is the one i really want. I just want to learn to be more independent and not depend so much on my parents for university funding. Yes i do have a few choices in mind but I've got no idea which is better. Anyone can enlighten me? My choices are:

1) ExxonMobil Scholarship
2) PSC Merit Scholarship
3) NUS Undergraduate Merit Scholarship
4) Engineering Scholarship

Oh mind, mention scholarships and I never fail to get headaches. Anyways I've got till March 2008 to think through and hope my results are not as atrocious.

On a happier note, yesterday after biology p1 went to orchard with class people to do some shopping. Bought 3 CD's and a pair slippers. And I have a long list of things to get before i get enlisted into the army. My shopping list:

1) Prom stuff
2) New hp without camera
3) Hellgate : London
4) New graphic card and RAM for my PC
5) New Shoes?
6) Christmas present for my cg-mates?
... and the list goes on.

Haha.. I suddenly feel so empty. I mean my wallet. On never mind because I'm gonna get my 1st paycheck soon. Not any paycheck. Army paycheck. Oh and i haven't met up with lots of friends for a long time man. Hope i get to go out with them soon before i get enlisted. Oh and there's class chalet too. It's gonna be an exciting 3 weeks before i get enlisted. =D

Yes! LAST PAPER ON THURSDAY! Yes.. it's the LAST paper. Hahaz. I can begin to sense the liberation already. (Actually i already felt it since after econs.. lol) Oh n congrats to all the physics people. It's post As already! Unfair.. =X

Anyway i think 蕭敬騰 is damn good. Must go listen to some of his songs. =D

Chem was ok, so 3 papers left! Ah Biology paper 3 just spoils everything. I've been wasting my entire weekend. I need help sitting down to study. 3 more papers. That's the greatest motivation i guess. Hahaz. Feeling good. Tmr is gonna be a good day. I hope. =D

Yes, another free day without any paper. This week has been full of ups and downs. Physics P3 was pretty bad, and i can't help feeling damn terrible because i changed lots of my right answers for wrong ones for some god knows reason. Haiz. Anyway hope that does not deprive me of an A for physics. Chemistry was pretty good! Happy. Then economics was okay. Essay was quite ok because I've done the monopoly question before and so it's mere regurgitation. BUT i think I'm quite stupid. I actually read the question wrongly and wasted 25 minutes writing an essay totally OFF. Oh mind damn panicky. The question was something like should the government relax control on market dominance.. but i interpreted it as should the government relax control on imports! And there i went to write 1.5 pages on international trade! Damn scared man! But lucky i made up a lot of time during case study and i wrote super fast. So at the end i could finish, but not sure if its good enough for an A. Anyway economics is OVER! OVER! OVER!It's as good as the end of A's man! 4 papers to go. Chem P1 tomorrow, followed by Biology P3, Physics P1, Biology P1. 10 papers down! 4 to go! I need some discipline now. LOL.
