EE Lab 2

Just got back from the Lab... It's my mom's birthday today so didn't think that I would bother her with my own SFH troubles... Came back, Jay Chou was screaming at the top of his lungs (bet even he'd have gotten a sore throat had he sung that loud) and music was blasting.... FROM MY ROOM... her again... her socks were on the floor, bag thrown on the sofa, and upon hearing the door open she immediately turned down the volume. Hollered at her to clear up my room, do her stuff and she just gave no heed. I'd already given up on her long ago, so I simply didn't couldn't care less.. So much about pple not caring about her enough.. Not as though she wasn't the main cause of Mom's worries. They say it's hard being the child in the middle, but she really should consider the feelings of others. Was I really that difficult as well when I was in my teens?

Dunman High all over again...

EE lab wuz pretty fun, though I'd missed out on the Norton's theorem part ( which would have gotten me some bonus marks). It was optional tho, so no matter. It's funny how I like EE Labs, considering that I'm struggling to cope with the theories that are thrown at me in theoretical EE. Am doing pretty well too... In the labs at least... Am going to do my tutorials now, and with the help of the webcasts, my academic career doesn't look so bleak now. Wonder how I would've fared had there been a webcast of sorts during my TJ days...

Later we're probably going to Jack's Place @ Compass Point for dinner. My mom's been toiling day and night, and it's hard for her to feel really happy, especially with problematic kids like SFH. Sure hope I can graduate with a good degree and a well-paying job so as to lift at least part of the load off her shoulders.

Darling's going to have her Networking Night tonight, and I sure hope that she secures a contract with the Big 4, so that her worries about finding a job will be gone as well.. She looked really pretty in her suit, and she's the reason why I'm constantly striving to improve myself upon. She's always there to reassure me, to give me the confidence that I so badly need, and it's no wonder that I've been playing well as of late... Soccer I mean. Got an Arts Fac competition this Sat, and hope I can pull off saves as I did in the recently concluded IES Cup, where we eventually finished champions. It sure was a gratifying experience, and a much-needed shot in the arm for our mid term tests.... Maybe later...

Best of so many worlds..

Could I ever ask for more? Life has been kind to me..

My formative years were spent in a dungeon of despair that was so very much Dunman High.

Going into JC, I never expected much out of it, and yet it was very much the hand of fate that guided me along. Joining TJ after the first three months, finding the girl that I sorta liked in the same class (Koof wuz an added bonus), joining soccer and meeting all those friends, getting to know THE girl, stumbling along, getting hopelessly drunk and depressed on Dance Nite Yr 1, winning the inter-house soccer comp, flunking my tests and exams, having my GP tutor flirt with me, getting a date with HER, falling in love at last, finding her beside me, scraped thru the prelims, getting unbelievable results for the 'A's (she included), meeting her family (she met mine too)...

Until NS came along.

Once again it seemed that my life had hit the doldrums again. The torture that wuz BMT, the agony of injuring my back in Section Battle Course, the horror that wuz PS Thor, the withering feeling that came about with OOC.. This morbid feeling, so familiar as it was alien, the temporary relief that was PLAB, the incessant politics in FDS Logistics took its toll. I was never one to bend over to accomodate partiality, and that worked to my detriment. The loneliness, so much a part of my NS life, was made bearable with HER presence and the late introduction of Melvin and Greg. The horrible feelings that accompanied each and every rejected scholarship application, with so many falling at the last hurdle were a mixture of disappointment and rage. Rage?

ORD and NUS was a brilliant solution. I had so badly wanted to join my two closest friends at SMU, but i stuck with the retort "Had SMU have an Engineering Faculty, I would've gladly gone there" Furthermore, they never did reply to my application for studies there. In any case, had I gone there, there would not have been any hope of me securing THE scholarship, and SHE'd probably have me castrated for not going NTU with the same course. Well, maybe not. Then again.... think SMU babes...

Our relationship went on the upturn, and it has, indeed, since my Matric, and we've never been a closer couple. Friends envy my relationship, and I couldn't agree more. So much for a first entry.. Good Nite...
