2010 passed by super quickly. I re-run for JCRC. I studied hard but still didn't perform and my GPA drop. Receive my 1st warning letter for my scholarship. Semester holiday burned like hell. But I think I make the right decision. University shouldn't just be about studying. A balance lifestyle is a must. My only regret was I didn't leave for the overseas research opportunity.
Then came 2011. 6 months attachment life was blissful. I learn a lot more about human factors and psychology and found out what I truely want to do in life. Only problem is my GPA is not good enough and I might not secure my dream job. But I guess I will not give up trying. If you are passionate about something you will hang on no matter what.
Year 4 Semester 1 started in August 2011. Handling over my JCRC duties I was free like a bird. More time to study, more time to sleep, more time to pursue my hobbies. Having more time to study resulted in better grades. The semester gpa was approximately the same as the first semester I entered university. Althought it is mathematically impossible for me to graduate with a 2nd upper but I think I should do my best to at least graduate with a 2nd lower and pray my dream job hired me.
It is also this semester where I attempt to pursue my Minor in Psychology. Till date I still think I enjoy my psychology classes much more than my engineering courses. Hopefully in 2012 I will graduate and get into my dream job.

My aha moment?
Haven't be blogging for ages
Perhaps being too used to bottle up my emotions
Till now I am constantly unsure my current feelings
10 Days till Year 3 start
The long awaited holidays was burn in Special term, working, hall stuff, fencing training, YOG and all the random responsiblites that i held. Many say I was crazy to burn my holidays in such manner.But I am not sure if I should call myself crazy.... irony correct?
Perhaps my decision for special term got some link to the phrase that I added on the blog. In aid to protect my sanity, I have use all my various commitments to cover up the scars, but the truth is, it is always there. It will always be.
Then came August which I thought without special term I can take a break.But then I was quite wrong. The revision time was spent to clear all the other commitments that I have. And out of the suddenly, lately even watch movies/shows online doesn't help to keep me relax. What is really happening?
Helping out YOG as safety kayaker make me realise how much I love it. How much I love getting tan. How much I love getting sun burn. How much I love the sun, the sand, the sea. That perhaps I may love kayaking and sea sports more than fencing, or even engineering. To the extend that I have a sudden urge to be an outdoor instructor for my career.
Will this be my aha moment? Is it really worth it to give up everything I have now, for an outdoor career? Or should I continue studying? And use my free time to pursue my qualification in kayking,PPCDL, and other outdoor skills? But then again, there is only 24hours. I have to study to get good grades, work to support myself, CCA to get points to stay in hall, and probably sleep should also be on the list.
So much for living life on the edge.
aha moment: A moment of clarity, the aha moment is a defining moment where you gain your real wisdom - wisdom you can use to change your life

2010!
I slept the whole of the first day of new year
Woke up to a raining evening
Braved the rain to get some dinner from can 2
Not sure why am so tired
running nose has stop, while throat starts to hurt
Praying hard am not falling sick soon
Really don't have the time to fall sick
2010 Goals:
1. cpga >4.0, and into 2nd upper class
2. Greater mental, physical and emotion strength to deal with school, JCRC, Fencing, LDP,NCC and work when school starts.

2009 in review!
1st Semester Results
Everyone around me tell me is pretty good grades. But, to me, I know I screwed up. I didn't study as hard as I supposed. Tutorial and revision was only done at the last minute which are totally unacceptable! And I totally deserve the C+ for a paper I studied for 2.5 days. Whatever it is, no more excuses should be made, what done is done. Everything will change next semester! No more Cs! More As! And yes i will get my cgpa above 4!
University Life
I guess after coming to uni things change a lot. I tried a lot of new things, bowling, kbox, fencing, late night supper/running/cylcing/meetings etc. Hall life is encriching but also busy since i joined JCRC. Staying in hall also allow me to know that am sort of a loner. But I guess is because of my various commitments. And am not that smart and have to put in time to revise each night. And it very true that if we don't play now, after we start working we won't get the chance.
We spend our 3rd chirstmas back viewing chirstmas lights and the new year eve with a simple lunch and movie. 2009, is also a year we agreed to try and develop further.
2009 was a year i transit from poly to uni. In uni, life was a roller coaster ride, many a times at night when am totally drained out or the quiet nights on weekends and public holidays that I really wanted to give up, but living through the hectic crazy semester 1 gives me motivation to try and survive the next! May everyone wishes come true, and Happy 2010!
At this very moment, in a quiet night at hall, the question on my mind is this:
School + JCRC + Fencing + Leadership Development Program + Work + NCC = ????
