wanted to go maple forums... but nope... the forums are under maintenance! imma bored!!!!!!!! yesh i still have a bunch of work to do later on... part of the 102 draft needs to be edited (work split up) and emailed out by tmr, i have to find papers and read up on the causes n prevention of type 2 diabetics cos we are meeting up tmr... gah! 5 hours of break tmr but at least 1 hour will be spent on discussing the diabetic thing. the guy in my grp is like the super worried, kan choing... i dunnoe.. just find his character a bit weird. like how he suddenly come n ask me if i'm in 2nd year (like not direct entry) and know how to search for journals. yes yes i've done so much journal searching while at ibn. then the other 2 gals in my 102 grp were like, huh? year 2 means know how to search for journals arh? how arh? we dunnoe! wat's a journal anyway? proves my point that there are really a lot of ppl so far backward i dunnoe how to describe... their idea of research n all is still like the very childish, primary or secondary sch kind of idea ><
gah. dont wanna talk abt this anymore... i'll go play some games or smthing ><

yo peeps!
hello all! in sch comp lab now... biostats lesson LOL. OMG THIS MODULE IS SO SLACK!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR! i just looked thru all the title of all the lects for the module... like all but 1 of the lecture is stuff not taught in jc... and considering that i really aced jc stats... i've already finished all the qns for today's lab... which plenty of time to spare to check out my gc syntax, check wiki for CLT formula and all etc... play facebook even.. hehe...
2 projects stuff on going now with an undone assignment for ACB... ok lah... nothing compared to all that 3, 4, 5, or more performance tasks at once in rg... lol. now my greatest challenge is trying to keep awake, and at the same time still be concentrating on lectures. still have yet to find a way to do so... imagine if i fall asleep half the time during that techno speak elective... where all the lesson content is in this 3 hour lecture once a week... i'll die in the exams lah ><
haiz. okays. her still gng on n on abt approximation n CLT... wonder if the use to gc to skip all the approximation, standardizing etc is accepted in exams... gotta ask the guy later on. <3 my gc ^^

tough days ahead?
been sick for the past couple of days... like fever, running nose, cough n the like.........
been totally heck care abt getting any electives... until like just an hour ago i decided to check out the stars planner thingy.. and to my amazement found this prescribed elective that doesnt clash with my core, has a title that looks interesting, and had 2 slots! OMG! so i went to search the ntu webby on details on the course. turns out that its a course abt english... technologically speaking is the course title. sounds interesting, no? smthing abt how technology changes the usage of language... even things like chat slang and all... the assessment still looks do-able. 50% ca - 2 take home assignments and a quiz. 50% final exam - mcqs and short qns.
then i went to check out on jap lvl2... which i've actually wanted to take but cldnt find a slot that fitted well with my time table... amazingly once again i found slots. picked one that's on tues n friday. the tues one is right aft my adv cell bio lect but i'm hoping the trend of that lecturer always releasing us early continues... probably gotta grab a bite before the lect n eat during the lec or smthing, in case i starve during the jap tut from 6:30-7pm... ><
not sure if i'm taking on too much. well if i slack like i did last year, i'll fluck everything no doubt, but that's the point - i dont want to waste my 4 years in uni n not get my 1st class hons. i dont wanna settle for anything less ><. yeah, a big chunk of it depends on the FYP, which u must get an A for, but if i'm not the one getting the A than who else? hell i did not waste my years rushing PTs in rg for nothing, nor did i spend my holidays at ibn doing nothing... the other day during one of the tuts 2 poly students while doing self intro said they worked at imbc n some other a-star insitute for a year before coming uni - cool stuff, but i did too had attachments at ibn for a total of over 8 months ><. yeah i was a student and they were dip holders so i believe they were lab officers/bio/watever its called in the insitute, but i did learn a lot from fan too. yeah i'm still extremely unsure n not confident if u ask me to come up with a project, design all the experiments and stuff, but compared to the rest of the students where i believe way more than half of them have had no experience watsoever... i'm definitely a lot ahead of them. thks fan!
gotta thks rgs a lot too... we were learning aseptic techniques to culture bacteria the other day... stuff we were taught in rg... >< yeah yeah, some small details like u shd always leave the agar plate inverted to prevent any condensation on the lid from falling back on the agar where not taught before, but the bulk of it? we learnt in secondary sch! they are teaching us how to write reports as a module too. yeah i appreciate them teaching us some new linguistics terms, but i've already picked up quite a bunch of scientific report writing skills... from the time we did a scientific project for RS in rg, to the srp in jc... no i'm not a fantastic writer, i'd probably be taking lit or smthing otherwise, but i really wonder how far back some of my peers can possibly be? i mean, i'm sure there are peeps who did srp also, who knows how to write reports... but if EVERYONE already knows all that stuff, why have such a course? that extra confidence boost, practise etc is always helpful, but i'm sure there are still ppl out there with no concept of report writing at all.
anways... i've missed the 1st 2 lects (bravo!) of the technologically speaking course, and the 1st 2 tuts of jap class. oh wells. the price to pay for not signing up for electives early. i must say that i'm really lucky tho, i didnt expect to get any electives this sem so late.
we have this biostats course this sem and i'm loving it! haha, stats was abt the only part of jc maths i liked anyway, and thus far i see a lot of repeat of jc stats. and the thing is, its BIOstats. basically, they know that in today's world of wonderful computer program and convinences, we dont need to bother abt the mathematical formulas and such (cos we arent taking math!!!!!!!!!!), we just need to understand the concept, and know how to use the programs... haha, my point exactly! just what i like! <3
we have a couple of projects thus far. actually, only 2 lah... not a lot. one on writing a doing a project n writing a proposal, report etc - basically its just PW all over again but with less time to complete. the other is a short presentation for tut class. my topic is on diabetics:causes n prevention. pretty cool topic, but not the coolest :( was hoping i cld get stuff like the bovine growth hormone, slimming pills n such... but oh wells. gotta think of some possible projects for the mini-pw and start searching for journals on the diabetes one tmr. both also got discussion on monday :X
gah... time to get start with work, just hope that this flu will be gone fast ><

sch's in!
1st wk of sch is over, i still have not found an elective to take. found an interesting one in psycology that doesnt clash with my timetable BUT it needs a prerequisite course which i, being a bio student, obviously didnt take. no hope in changing my mon afternoon class to a more desirable time either it seems. so i guess i'm stuck with waiting for FOUR hours on mon and FOUR hours on tues. sucks!
still hoping i can get in an elective before the add drop period ends next week. GAH!

sch's in
yup, sch has started.... met up with dear linger aft my lect n her work, had sushi again (wat else is there in ntu haha). she was really impressed with the sch buildings - cos just nice all the food place n my sch are the nice looking new buildings, the just nice they are repainting the old buildings for next yr's youth olympics, so i guess compared to nus, ntu looks so much better, haha! but seriously... ntu has a lot more new buildings than nus, and the new buildings do have quite a nice design - my sch doesnt look too bad, and the marble floorings inside does make the building look quite high class. the sch of art and design takes the cake - 2 buildings, with all glass on the exterior, in the shape of 2 slops, with grass grown ontop of the slopes. super nice looking - its been featured in the papers before...
anyways, no more slacking for me, i want my 1st class hons gpa and i cant get anyway near it if i continue slacking. i promise to read my lect notes before and revise it again aft the lect. no i've nvr mugged or memorized for any exams, and i WILL nvr do that. okays, i did study for exams still in rg, but its nothing like the way ppl mug for A lvls and such. i'm a smart person, and smart ppl dont mug and memorize stuff! we REMEMBER things haha! no more last mins work, i wanna know things inside out like the way i used it. okay, not exactly inside out, but at least i was sure of more than 80, or 90% of the course content in rg... now i step into the exam rm being sure of... less than half of wat i was taught. >< i wonder how i still get such a good gpa really =.=
okays. lect notes for tmr are still not out....... zzzzzz and tmr's lect is 1st thing in the morn so i guess there's no gonna be any notes... oh yeah, gotta try to stop falling asleep in lects too. last time i'll sleep thru half of EVERY lect. once again i wonder how i got such good grades zzzzzzzz. ok, my grades werent really that good, but i think its still abv average... at least it still starts with a 4... out of 5... either way, i'll make sure that this sem i know 100% for sure that my grades will be a lot better than average. its a promise... and promises are not meant to be broken - <3 linddy for teaching me the value of promises >< haiz... i'm not a good person when it comes to keeping promises, but i know wat i want n wat i must do to get there. well at least i know i want my 1st class hons ><
today's lect was pretty entertaining. or rather, very entertaining. as expected from dr. ken yu's lects. super duper funnieh. great thing abt it is that i dont have much trouble keeping awake ^^. bad thing abt it is... there's none! haha... i like his lects and style of teaching. a teeny weeny bit like hhx's style yeah. my laughing lect... really hope that he's taking us for all the lects, cos in the intro slide it say's he's the course coordinator and he didnt mention anyone else in the slide that's gonna be teaching us...
okays, enough time spent on blogging. i'll try to blog more often but i'm lazy. gah, i haven upload the pics we took for the outing with troopers to my com even. took me so long to upload the pics to shutterfly the other day, plus i cldnt load any webpage properly while uploading the pics >< gah... >< wat am i to do? haiz, still need to find an elective to add to my time table ><
