back after a long time
10:47 PM
It's been really really a long time. Almost half a year since the last post. What has changed? So much has changed.I'm going on 20 this year, so are all dragon babies borned in 1988. haha. I'm still studying in NUS industrial design course, and still the president of TXY. Can be considered as CCA-less in NUS now coz I'm no longer active in NUStudio.
Got closer with my coursemates, especially Stephanie who now calls me for free as she signed up for M1's student plan and puts me as one of her sun friends. We hang out most of the time together.
Yvonne also signed up for a similar plan, with me as her sun friend too. She and her bf seems to be going on quite well. She's in Arts and trying to cope.
Pei Xuan left the national team for air rifles, but she is still participating competitions on the international level. She's going to munich to participate in the qualifying competition for the next olympics. She got into NTU this year without using her air rifle to appeal. VERY HAPPY FOR HER!
Cecilia and Dianjun are taking their A's this year. JIAYOU!
Well, time really flies. Before I knew it, I've just completed my year 1 industrial design course. Technically speaking, my course will only be completed after my exams are over, which is officially on the 7th of May, 7pm.
The course really drains my energy. This semester has far too much projects to handle as compaired to the previous one. It was as if I am going through a special training to be superwoman, training myself to be tough and strong, and immune to sleepiness at the same time. The course took up so much of my time that I could hardly have time left for TXY, much less for myself. I'm pretty screwed up this few months. Both for my school work and TXY stuff. I could hardly keep track of what's happening, and staying over in the studio becomes part of my life.
Though it sounds really really bad, but I do can some comfort from this course. Things like when my tutor praise my work, and see some value in my design; when I know that my friends are in this together, and we can put through everything together; and when my product is "produced". Though the idea of changing course did appear somewhere in my mind before, but I know I will not change the course. This is because it is painful to loose what ever I have now. Not to say that I LOVE staying overnight, but I think I will really miss the course if I really change. Especially to think that I no longer have something in common with my coursemates, they are part of my motivation to stay.
Enough of school, let's talk about TXY. The greatest challenge is to juggle TXY and school. I felt quite bad to be so tied up by school that I've got little time for TXY. Wen Hua Ying is at the last week of this month, and I'm still stucked with examinations now. Pre-camp is on the 10th, performance for wan hui is due on the 17th, logistics to be transported on the 19th, 20th-22nd will be the camp itself. It'll occupy most of my post-examination time. Then on the 31st of May, I'm going to China, Xia Men for 8 days. It can be considered as "working" as I'm suppose to lead a group of students there, take care of them and I'm paid! Though the allowance is only $150, but I get to travel for free, with meals and lodging provided for. haha. I'm supposed to go there with Pei Xuan and dian jun. But Dian Jun isn't available during that period so I'm still looking for another guy. Still trying to ask Zhi Wei whether can I get another girl instead coz there aren't any suitable guys up for the job in TXY.
Okie~~ Time to end this post. Have been writing it since dono when. (wasn't really focusing on writing it so took so long)
