hey~ be prepared for a long entry today! many interesting things happened throughout this week.
"98, 99 , 100! here i come ! " ystday's morning assembly started with this sentence. my sch debator went up to present to the sch her winning speech - hide n seek. she said that, contrary to popular tots , adults still play hide and seek. but the version we play is more complex. we do not hide our physical self but our inner self. we hide our emotions, our motives and every other thing else n i find it rather true. i'm guilty of it everyday. but analysing wat i've learnt from science as well, the ideal case is always too far fetched from the reality. i think if a person does not hide his emotions, intention , motives etc, he will be a very unpopular person. it is a form of accomodation that we hide our inner self which we believe is better off hiden inside a corner of our heart. as much as i do not wish to hide, the reality always jerks me up from castle-building in the air. the reality has no place for that kind of innocence i believe. anyway that was a good speech she gave, made me think and ponder.
today i also went to donate blood for the first time. ok, i think i was one of the v v few who still had to go with a consent form! was kinda excited that it is my first time. not much pain , juz abit sore over the wound. the needle is huge though, bigger than ur mechanical pencil's opening. some of their bodies reacted rather violently to the drop in volume of blood. joseph was one them, he was acting strong with a pale face and in the end had to be carried back in by the nurse.ha... it was a great exp , and knowing that i could help someone with tt blood donation, it felt great. so BE A BLOOD DONOR TODAY!
I also attended a talk by a chemical engineer. My dream occupation! chemical engineer! ha.. it is of no doubt my interest lies in chem rather than physics. it also seemed to me that being a chemical engineers is rather an interesting. u get to come up with new molecular formular for soaps, new octave oil, invent your own medicine etc. cool right ? it isnt like wat my mum tot it was, sitting in a lab juz doing experiments. its more than tt~ if u are lucky to work in jurong island, u get to deal with millions n millions of dollars worth of contract. now, talk about an interesting job. another gd side of it is , its the highest paid industry in sg! the avg salary of workers in the chem industry is $5500! the speaker also said he knew of counterparts who has salaries 6 times this amount! omg. tts a holy sum! not including bonus, overtime, raise, insurance. that would adds up to bout more than half a million a year! but of cos not everyone gets to have tt kind of holy pay. for now, i shall work hard to get into chemical engineering which has a cut off point of 66 -.-' in layman's term, it means 3 A and a minimum of B3 for gp. for my mid yr result, i only managed 25.5. not even half way there. lol. but still, i'll strive for it. SO DUN ASPIRE TO BE A CHEM ENGINEER N COMPETE WITH ME!
nowadays, i'll all too busy with my mugging. time seems to be running faster n faster. the weekdays i used to dread, is flashing past me. i'm kinda like lost in a transition. i slowly realised how much more time i've left in this sch. i walked to the bus stop with my soccer ppl juz now. and its like deja vu, a vicious cycle. mayb not vicious la. i've seen it happened to my seniors be4 and now its my turn. dun think i'll have much time to spent with ppl in the sch. n i know before i will realise it, its gonna be goodbye again. how i hate all the partings n goodbyes. i looked at the field with my coach in his familar waga shirt. mixed feelings of pride, joy, sadness, confusion ... he's one man i'll nv forget. to sum it up, i'm starting to cherish all the ppl in sch but i dun have much time to do so. n there's always this thing tt will make me feel seems so incomplete, n i guess it will carry on to do so.
at times i do wish you know i have a blog. its harder to tell you things now. alright. melancholic mood over. mugging programme set.' if maths be the food of love... prove on!'
