Had a gathering with the Extremes peeps yesterday at Crystal Jade. It was supposed to be a farewell dinner for Sharon but in the end, she didn’t turn up. But at least, she made an effort to meet us after dinner for a drink and a short chit-chatting session. Coach was furious, I supposed and it was wise of her not to flare up as it will dampen everyone’s mood. Dinner wasn’t as great in term of the food but the company was great. It is not easy for the seniors to meet up and this is especially so, since everyone has gone into different phases of our lives. Ade is busy working and travelling around now, Fang, bee and Stella are busy coaching, Bird is only back in Singapore for school holidays and very soon she will leave again for another 6 months and for Shiqi, she is forever busy national training and schoolwork. As for Tong and me, we too, are busy with school works and hardly go for trainings now. Now that Sharon is leaving for good and I’m not sure when I will see her again. I used to see her once a week during training until I stop going for trainings. But from now onwards, she will not be there even if I go for training. All I could do now is to chat with her in either msn or Facebook. I have difficulty expressing what I’m feeling now. No doubt it is the unwillingness to part, but I’m certain there is something else that I’m feeling too. New Zealand is a great country and I think Sharon will definitely enjoy her life there. I will tour New Zealand again if I have a chance to. I will visit her by then for sure and it will be good if she can offer me free lodging. Hahaha..

Anyway, Sharon, I wish you all the best. Take care and you will be missed by us. =)

I can’t believe that school is officially starting tomorrow (though mine starts on Tue). Today marks the end of the 1 month break and I have to part with my habits of sleeping at 3am and waking up at 2pm, nua-ing at home and mahjong-ing as and when I like. I don’t look forward for school, I don’t want my break to end, but it is not within my limit. When school starts, time flies and very soon, it will be the mid term test week. After which, is the one week study break for the big thing (the Final Exam). I dread school, I dread waking up early at 630 for school on Wednesday, I dread squeezing in bus 95, I dread exams and I don’t want my friends to graduate. Life will be boring without them. That’s life, I understand, but I’m used to the fun that we had and I don’t want everything to come to an end. Alright, I think it is enough to express how reluctant I want school to start.

Enough for a grumpy post. Back to notes printing.

(To uni friends) see u guys around in school.

Finally, I'm done with all the modules bidding in this coming semester. It is always this period that has gotten me headache over what modules I should take. And I am forever short of one module to take. Yes, you have gotten me right. FOREVER.
I remembered in sem 2 year 1, I was still short of a module even when school has started because errr.. the lecturer of the module I took was ill/dead (can't remember) and the module was not conducted in the end. Eventually I took a sociology module with Thomas. Okie, this is kind of an unforeseen circumstance and it is not totally my fault.
Year 2 sem 2: took a geography module because there wasn't many choices left. Luckily Alvin, my dear dear took the module with me.
Last semester, Jun suggested to take management science because she was in the same situation as me and yan.
Once again, I was short of one module after my decision on the 4 core modules this semester. It was Jun again who suggested on the basic finance and great enough, me, tong, yan and jun managed to bid the module after using 938 points. Now I'm kind of broke in both P and G account.

And so in the end.. 5 modules settled (Phew~). Immunology, MicroBiology, Neurobiology, Hormones and Health and Basic Finance (Computational Methods for Basic Finance ) This is my time table for the coming semester. Before you are envious over my free day on Monday, take a look at Wednesday instead. 4 freaking lectures = 8 freak hours of lecture. Luckily all the lectures are in Science. I should be glad at least since I don't have to leave Science and travel around in those squeezy shuttle buses. Finally, I'm staying in science throughout in this semester. I love being a Science Geek! =)

Finally, the HC & LS 4 group peeps managed to squeeze out an afternoon time for karaoke session yesterday. A delayed session (it was formerly arranged on the 18 Dec 2008) but still it was an enjoyable one. My voice was hoarse after the 4 hours of singing. All thanks to Audris Lim for choosing all the ‘killer songs’. Nevertheless we had fun, going out of tune and waiting for chorus before singing. **applause** Steph has such a great vocal and going high pitch is definitely her forte. Plus, she is just like a living jukebox. She knows all the songs that Audris and me chose and practically she knows all the new songs. I wonder why tho, because she is those “eat potato’ people. We converse in English all the time. I thought she will be the one choosing English songs and yes, Audris and me were super alarmed. Anyway, she has an audition for this choir module on Wed and I bet, she will get through it. Choir class as a module in NTU, it sounds odd to me and I wonder what the module really teaches about.

After the fun, now it’s time to go back into serious matter. Module choosing is always the most tedious to me since I’m not one who plans for the entire year. But seriously, if I had planned my modules well, I'll be concentrating in microbiology instead of biomedical science now. Anyway, it's too late for regrets already. I’ll most likely settle on 4 core modules this semester and they are Microbiology, Immunology, Hormones and Health and Neurobiology. All memory intensive modules. Step on it, puny brain. I know you can do it one. =)
