I thought I had an utterly idiotical nonsensical funny idea that I just had to share. I was hyped and starting working on it, but now the mood is all gone. Bah. Just so you know.

Polytechnic.

The thing which consumes your life.

The thing which makes many change.

The thing which makes us lose control.

It's like a jail, and the crime we commited was to pass our O levels, and to skip our A levels.

It engulfs our lives, chews up our time, swallows our sanity.

In year one, it gave us many happy memories, happy thoughts, happy days. Our deed of crime has not disappointed us. We were rejoicing. CCAs, class outings, the time of our lives.

Year two, punishment started sneaking in. We were still unaware, happily wasting our precious time with tons of activites. The ending of joy, the beginning of stress. The results showed how easy we were taking our term in this jail. Punishment has taken its toll.

Year three, the judgement has come. Time and effort was the price to pay for a ticket to leave. The final demon arose, its name was FYP. It creeped upon us, ate our time, gave us headaches, sucking the lives out of us. Seven long months of torture. The final grading is soon to be.

Now I can almost taste the sweetness of freedom lingering in the air. The pains of labour is going to take fruit.

I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!

Tell me, after FYP, we all start to relax, how to study leh?

Its been a busy busy month. First, FYP submission.

The whole week of FYP submission was just mad. Alright, so we had it almost completed. We had several final drafts. Haha. In the end, it was a mad rush to print and bind everything. I had to work from thursday til saturday, so I was just feeling damn tired at the end of everything. There was this huge hybridoma test today, and I really didn't feel like studying the entire day yesterday. All I did was to slack around. Even daniel said the weekend was a holiday. Subconciously. I guess deep down every single one of us is hoping for that holiday which never seems to come. There's always something to do. It's been like that since year two semester two. It really sucks. All the work, the stress, the madness. I swear I've broken down one time too many. The boy can't help much, he's going through alot of things too. Its just different things we have to go through, and its not making either of us feel any better. Nah, we didn't quarrel or anything. Its been fine, we've both been understanding. But somehow I wish I had more mental support.

There were tons of e-learning assignments to complete. Sigh. Fortunately, the test is over, it wasn't too bad (heh.....). Shaf, Ummar and Cynthia would know what I mean.

IVP today. I nearly couldn't make it due to FYP. In the end, we're putting off seeing Dr. Liew for the draft presentation. Will have to work on it tomorrow.

IVP. Hmmm... I think the SP girls really played very well, considering that this is the first match for the majority of us. Shaf's being goalie for the first time too. No serious injuries, but its tiring. I must admit, my stamina sucks. I haven't ran for the past few months since April. Running and sprinting makes me feel like puking. We survived anyway. I didn't eat a bite before the match. I had no appetite. Thank God for that though, if not I might have puked. Anyway, I had to run home to get my stuff cause of the postponing of the meeting. After that, we (cyn and i) had to brave the storm to get to the pitch. Then, was the match against NYP. FYI, NYP girls' team is the best team. We had a horrible score-line. BUT, its was really good considering the difference in standards. Hahaha. We managed to make them work for goals instead of really easy ones. We managed to stress them (however little), and we managed to defend better than expected. Lol.

The NYP girls are really good. It was fun playing with them. We really get to see how good players play. Besides, most of them are really nice too. =) Though we are a really new team, with so many inexperienced players, I can say that I'm proud of our team today. Though we didn't train much, and not enough effort was put into training, we managed to come off fine. I just wished I could commit more. Sigh. There were small snitches, but everything went fine. The worst is over! Let's work hard for the rest of the games! =) Jiayou!!! Lets at least score one! Wahahaha. Let's work towards it.

The SP guys team really improved from last year. This year, there are more experienced players, and goalie! Though I miss some of the players last year, our team this year is much better. Heh. Go guys! Go SP! We got more chance this year! =)

Oh and I kinda like my hockey jersey. Nice colour, nice skirt. I like................ Lol.

After the game, we stayed for the guys' game. We put up a fight, though the NYP guys were very good. Dang. Haha. After everything, me, the boy and cyn went for butter fried rice. So nice! The kangkong was burnt so we had them replaced. Heh. We had a good time bitching about weird customers, and our bosses nonetheless. Its the small things which cheers us up. I was really feeling much more relaxed after dinner. I guess half the stress was lifted. Its just the last leg of the race. I have another half a semester to go. I flunked a test (oops). I need to study. I need strength. I need SLEEP. Wahahaha. I guess life's fair after all. The satisfaction and laughter in return for the hard work we put in.

HOLIDAYS! You're coming! I've been missing youuuuu~!

Whooppppeee!

I'm jumping for joy! Perhaps a little too early. Heh. Well, its because I'm almost done with my report!! A whooping 118 pages. Heh. I'll still have to send it for a final look-through. I can't believe its almost done!! WHEEEEEEEEEE~

Meanwhile, I'm almost dying of stress. I'm doing terribly for my tests, I've got so much on my mind. I miss Molmod today. Sigh. FYP presentation is coming up next. I'll need a new formal skirt. I'll need tights to wear inside the skirt for IVP. I need to shop!!! Wahahahahaha. Come December, I'll go crazy shopping and doing whatever I like!! Not forgetting that I'll be having exams after that lar. December holidays = D&D, class chalet, work(-_-''), overseas maybe? Heeee. I can't wait, I can't wait!!

Hybridoma test next week. DIE. Hahahaha. IVP next week. DIE. FYP presentation. Hmmmm.

All the things that can go wrong, might go wrong. BUT at this point of time, I don't care! I'm too busy planning what to do. LAlalalalalala~

The week is over.

I can finally breathe. *PHEW*

Lets see what I have achieved this week.

I did FYP the entire day on Monday up til about 4am.
Woke up at around 12 the next day to do more FYP, followed by training.
Went back, did some E-learning, knocked out.
Woke up on wednesday for friendly against JJ.
Dinner at Swensons with Darling and Shaf.
Couldn't stay awake for staff night so I didn't go.
Woke up around 1, ate, slacked, worked from 4 til 11.
Went home, knocked out. Woke up at 930, went to school for more FYP.

Wah lao. I can't believe I wasted one good week doing so much things! I should have some time to go shopping or watch movie or something la!!!

On a brighter note, I'm almost done with my FYP report!! I'm left with the super headache referencing, as well as just minor changes and formatting. The report is pretty much shaped up already. Once the report is submitted, it'll just be the presentation. I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait.

IVP is coming soon. I don't know lar, its not that I don't want to play, but.... I just know I'm not up to the mark, and besides, I'm not committed enough. School still ranks as numero uno for me. Guess I'm just a plain old boring brainwashed Singaporean. Wahaha. As for the IVP, God please let us score at least ONE goal. I'm not asking to win, I'm not asking for more. I just want ONE goal. At least that way, we'll be better than the guys team last year. =X lalala. Ooops. Did I reveal too much?

I hope the jersey's nice. Hmmmmm.

Its E-learning week. I don't think I completed much E-learning at all.

Done:
o1. Immuno Quiz
o2. CSW
o3. Molmod

Needs to be done:
o1. Immuno report
o2. Hybridoma report and presentation
o3. Agro datasheet
o4. Agro worksheet (Audrey's part)
o5. Hybridoma tutorial
o6. Hybridoma lab report
o7. Agro (Dr.Liews part)
o8. GLMP reading

URGH. Forget it lar. I know I will never complete them all by monday. Maybe just those that have to be handed in on monday I guess. =X

I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait.

I just need a BREAK.

FYP sucks.

I've been staring at the computer the entire day. My eyes, they hurt. ARGH.

I'm playing for IVP. I'm working. I've got FYP. I've got e-learning assignments. I've got projects.

Who said poly was a piece of cake?

But NVM, this will be a taste of working life. Though I think I will be less busy. -_-'"

As the thought of the approaching FYP deadline creeps in slowly, and eventually setting in, I realised that I still have ALOT to do. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I need time! I need to stop procrastinating! I need to go study immuno now instead of blogging! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Help lar. At this rate, I don't think I can EVER get anything done.
