Yes. I am a finally a car-owner after so many years of travelling on public transport. Although it is a 2nd hand Toyota Vios, very single cent of the car was paid using my own money(even though my dad was preparing to pay for the downpayment). I chose to buy a 2nd hand one instead of a brand new one is mainly due to my 'rusty' driving skills and poor memory of Singapore roads and streets. Owning a car is definitely costly, have so many things to pay for. My next wish is a brand new continental car in 2 years time. Will be working extremely hard to achieve that.
Have been occupied with projects and lessons for the past month. Did not really have time to relax my mind and body. Thinking of going overseas for the dec holidays but the destination will be dependent on how many months of bonus will I get at the end of the year.
I felt that I had learn alot during this 1 month from my classmates and team-mates. So many scholars and first class honours grads in the class. There is also a PSC scholar as well. I am in awe of their intelligence and eloquence. Never felt so small before in my life. But I guess it is a very good learning experience for me. I have never enjoyed lesson so much before compared to my time in SBS.
Chapter 121- Finally graduated
Finally received the certificate for my degree on friday. Glad to see some of classmates again. All th
e best to them in their future endevaours and may our paths meet again.

Chapter 120-Life isn't fair after all
I know the world isn't fair, but I am just wondering why isn't it ever unfair in my favor? Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth while some have to slog hard and still cannot enjoy the same standard of living as those rich man's son. Some guys are so flippant with love and yet girls just throw themselves at them. On the other hand, some of the devoted and poor souls have to keep waiting in vain for their right ones who fail to appear.
I come to realise that each of us are born into this world with a designated role. I feel that I had tried my best to play my role so I should be contented and happy with life. However, I still feel that something is still lacking. I understand that life is pointless if you don't have anybody to share it with. Deep down my heart, I know that I need someone to love but I am afraid of falling in love because I am scared of being turned down again.

Chapter 119-Almost abandoned
Working life is certainly very different from the university days. But I must admit that SBS has prepared me well with the hectic work-life. It has been close to 2 months since the last update. At the back of my mind, I was thinking of abandoning the blog because I have become dillusioned about the mundane life which I led( Slog and slog for 7 days a week). However, I dropped the thought and decided to kept it going for the time being. Hoping to find time for a short overseas trip before the commencement of the course.
Chapter 118- I have achieved one of my main goals
Yes the results had been released and was glad that I managed to get an A+ for my final year project. This would also mean that I have graduated from NTU with a first class honours in Biological Sciences. I would like to thank all those who have helped me along the years and is thankful to SBS for giving me chances throughout the 4 years. Most importantly, I would like to say a big thank you to Asst Prof Koh and Dr Loh for their advice and help during the FYP semester. Thank god. I have done it and hopefully I have proved those who once doubted me wrong.
Chapter 117- A very big 'Thank you' to you
Finally submitted my thesis for my final year project. Now preparing the poster for the poster presentation on the 5th of May.
Friends are important part of everyone's life. Friends can be classified into acquaintances, friends and buddies. So what is the definition of a buddy? I used to think that the duration of friendship should be the best quality to distinguish friends from buddies. However, I am gradually realising that such a definition is flawed. Time may not be the best way to tell who is your best friend. I feel that the determining factor is their sincerity and the things that they have done to help you . I am not complaining that my old friends are not true friends but I am just wondering how many of them actually know my problems and are willing to share lobangs with me. I am glad to say that I manage to find a good friend who deserve my unreserved loyalty and help. I have only known him for only 3 years but I can tell that he is a super 'brotherly' and grateful chap. Something which he did recently really touched my heart. Although things did not work out as expected, I am grateful that he did his best to try to set things up, something which none of my so called buddies have ever done before. Thank you, my friend and all the best for your poster presentation.

Chapter 116- Misfortune has struck once again
Cannot get the deferment for my coming in-camp training and worse still my convocation clashes with the ICT. I cannot imagine myself convocating with the stupid cock hairstyle. I wonder what bad deeds did I commit in my previous life that I deserve such a treatment.
Chapter 115- Negative thoughts
Have not got any time to update my blog. Alot of things are going through my mind at the moment. Will I stumble at the last hurdle(FYP)? Shall I take up the master scholarship? Received a call last week from the organisation to apply for the overseas master scholarships. Having stumbled at the PSC MAP selection and NTU scholars award selection, I no longer have the confidence to apply for the scholarship. I was told that the organisation only gives out 4-5 graduate scholarships a year. Don't really have the guts to apply and fail once more.
In last than 4 weeks, my destiny will be sealed. Whether graduating with a first class or second upper honours is dependent on if I can get an A- for my FYP. I am worried and very worried if I fail my expectations again. I have a tendency to stumble at major exams, in PSLE, O level and A level. I hope lightning will not strike the fourth time. All I can do now is to do my best to finish up my thesis and pray hard that misfortune will not strike again.

Chapter 114- I hate that feeling
Yes I am feeling quite sad at this very moment. I guess nobody likes losing and I am no exception either. The interview for NTU scholars award has ended and I guessed I did not make their criteria to be selected for the next round of interview. I did not really expected myself to be eliminated so early in the selection process, although I wasn't expecting myself to win the award. I shall not dwell on this for any much longer and let this be the motivation for my final push towards the completion of my FYP. I really cannot afford to lose again this time round.
Chapter 113- Emptiness
It has just passed twelve midnight. I am still waiting for my real time result in the lab, still have around 40mins to go before i can pack up and leave. 14 Feb is one of my most dreaded day of the year. This is the 4th year that i am spending V day doing school work. I am glad that I still have FYP to keep myself occupied on this particular day. However, I am starting to feel loneliness creeping into me. Sometimes, I wonder how is it like to spend the valentime day with your love one? I am grateful that god has helped me alot over the past 4 years. But I am wondering if he can do me one more favor by arranging for the special one to appear soon because I am slowly losing the courage to fall in love.
I submitted my application for this year NTU's scholars award. During the process of completing the application, I realised that I hardly had any inspiring teacher during my JC time. So I decided to nominate Miss Tan who was my first 3 mth chem teacher. She was also the person who encouraged me to run for house rep. Realistically speaking, I don't think I will get the award but I am already quite contented to be considered by NTU. However, I am still praying to win this award so that I can make those who once doubted me take back their words. Jia you!

Chapter 112- Feeling butterflies in my stomach
Excited about tommorrow's presentation. Although, this is my second time doing a sharing session with the aspiring award holders, i am still feeling quite nervous and uptight about the occassion.
Delighted to be informed that I am being considered for the University Scholars Award for this year's graduating class. I think this is a very prestigious award. It is a pity because I don't have any CCA during my undergraduate years to stake a proper claim for this award. Nontheless, I shall still go for it but I don't really think I stand any chance for this award.

Chapter 111-Updates
Super busy with my final year project. Still stuck at the 2nd last stage of the project. I was expecting to proceed on to the final stage by feb. Seems like my plan will be delayed and I am ready to 'chiong' for the last 2 months.
Glad to be invited by the organisation to give a talk in NTU, college of Science, this coming week to attract potential awardees to apply for the award. However, at the same time, i am kind of worried because my 'England' is not too good. Nevertheless, I will still do my best and hope that it will work out well.
