The World Of infectious Diseases!!

My biotech paper today was a gonna. I rewrote a 20% essay coz I see the question wrongly. Shrugs! And in the end I don't have time for the last essay, which is also 20%! -_-" The only A grade I was hoping for this sem has gone with the wind!

I think we should make this into a chain/junk mail, then sent to all the students taking this module. Those didn't sent to five other students after reading will have bad luck for the paper on tuesday. Haha, I think "luck" plays a rather important role in order to pass this paper. I am so gonna to be screwed.

Crap. Back to studies.

Break from the books

I guess I deserved this fifteen minutes break (to blog).

Haha, i have been mugging like hell these three days (minus away the time I sleep, eat, and poo) to prepare for the coming tests. It's really crazy to have three tests falling within two consecutive days, which happened to be tomorrow and the day after. But then again, I think it's a great rehearsal for the finals when I will be having Immunology on the 28th morning, Applied Microbiology on the afternoon, and Infectious Disease on the next morning. Haha, damn screwed.

Luckily, I do have a very supportive family all these years, and really heart them for that. My dad was super funny yesterday. When I reached home, he commanded me to stop touching the books, and insisted that I have a drink with him. I know he wanted me to relax a little (lah), but unlike other fathers who want their children to excel, I guess he's the only father who will tell his son that "studying too much will kill!!!". Haha, so I did put the books aside after his super nice quote, to finish up a bottle of red wine with him.

And i heart friends. It's so heart warming to receive those encouraging smses from u-know-who-u-are when I'm in the midst of preparing for the tests in the cold and boring library. Those smses really brightened up my days. Let's meet up after my exams!!! =) Secondary school gathering, poly mates gathering, etc etc, I'm so looking forward. But then first of all, I need to get my "party genes" activated first. Haha.

Back to books.

GRADUATING LE!!!!!!!!!

A song delicated to those who love the songs of this great artiste.
Not her most well known song,
but my favorite for those sleepless night
阿桑, 一路好走。。。

Entering the last episode of school life, I have no much feelings or emotions to struggle about. In fact i feel as though it was a release......

Hatred, might be too strong a word to use.
But at least I know I really dislike this place.

To voice out: "This semester has been the greatest semester I had." I have wonderful lab sessions, I met up with wonderful lab group mates, I had my share of fun and the bonding was good. It's so unlike other semesters, whereby lab sessions was at the minimal, and lectures was almost everything just "to make us great researchers of the future'.

If only things were as great at the beginning.
My love for education, has in fact, been traumatized by the school system since year1.
Haha, nuff said about the system, only the geeks and genius love it.
Unfortunely, i don't fall to the above categories.

Four weeks, that's all I need.
And I will be free.
Yeah!!!

A Little Update

Current Mood: Lost
Current Song: Still in Love with You by Jonas Brothers

I have unofficially finished school since the semester break five weeks ago. Occasionally, I do make guest appearances for the lab practicals, tests or report submissions. My attendance was so bad that some uni friends jokingly want to celebrate a "school reopen ceremony" for me when I saw them the other day.

Boo.

2 more reports to rush.
3 more tests to struggle.
4 more weeks till exam.
5 more exam papers for my school life.
And I will be officially done with my entire education life.

The road ahead seems so welcoming, yet so traumatizing and unclear. I longed to reach the other side of the road when I just started university, but now I'm thinking otherwise. Joining the BioBiz seminar talk the other day make things worst. I didn't know that the market is so bad now.

In fact I'm backing out, and wish to study for a year more or two. Even though I don't really like the marking system of my university in general (those competitions within friends to fight for the top 5% to get As), I still think it will be better then those politics I got to handle in a working environment.

Sigh. The route ahead is so gloomy.

That application in Germany.
I'm hoping the best out of it.
