I've just logged in to IVLE for dunno whatever reason.
Suddenly, I had a thought of writing something to TPC.
To thank him for being my Linear Algebra lecturer, tutor, and also my mentor for just a short while.
Thank him for answering stupid questions which looked so difficult to do.
Wonder if he will still remember me when next year starts?
Or I can drop by his office to say hi.

Hmmm... watching the GE live now.
Announcing the individual sections now.

AmBiTiOnS???

Everyone have their own ambitions.
I have many ambitions.
When I was young, I wanted to be a Doctor.
A doctor who is capable of curing sick people effectively.
But then later in school that I realised that to become a doctor, I have to really smart.
Cos have to study the 3 sciences.

So I changed my mind.
Be a Nurse instead.
A nurse who is gentle and so caring to the patients.
But still have to be rather smart cos still have to know all the funny names, learn the human body which contained so many parts...
Nope, nurse I is not what i really want.

Then came the thought of becoming an Actress.
An actress like Zoe Tay and all my fave stars.
To be able to see myself on the big tv screen.
Then i realised that acting requires a lot of time.
With no proper work schedule and always ready for calls.
Working late into the night, with sleepless nights.
Maybe that's not what I want my time to be spend on.
Acting is out...

How about being a Singer???
Like Sun YanZi and those who are so famous out there.
Earning big bucks have fans screaming at you, chasing you wherever you go.
Like the idea???
Since I was from choir, shouldn't be a problem right????
But now, I can't really sing well. Not as good as I used to be.
But KTV sessions are still my faves.
I'll just be that little singer amongst my friends.
And charm them with my sometimes not so good voice.

Tell you something very funny...
Dun think got people who think of this as their ambition except for a few...
I had wanted to be a country leader.
Being a MINISTER of Singapore.
Leading the country to peace and prosperity.
Going for elections like what's happening now.
WOW!!!! What a big ambition I have last time.
But being a political leader, I have to understand the situations around me.
Understand not just the issues within my country but also other countries.
Be able to stand up and voice for my people.
These are things which I'm not very capable of.

Now, my dream is to become a TEACHER.
To impart my knowledge to the next generation and make the education tree grow bigger and wiser.
Since I can't be a country leader, I can nurture one or even a few.
And see their achievements go into serving the country.
But I may give up teaching.
My friend tells me that teaching is what I think it is to be.
Much more stressful than what I see in school.
And I think I failed my Teaching Award application again.
Wasn't sucessful in trying for the scholarship last year.

For the time being, I shall just stick to my position as an Assistant Secretary of NUSPS.
And prepare well for Montage 2006.
All the best for my preparations and I will have a sucessful Montage seminar.

So... what's my next ambition???

Haven't been writing in my blog for quite some time.
Exams had ended long ago (26 April was my last paper).
And now, I'm playing Maple Story with Chris and Lewis.
They jio me to BOOTES to play. I usually play at AQUILA.
But i think that i din login for a very long time, so my lvl 25 mage got stripped off all stuff and $$$. That character was only left with a few hundred dollars when i logged in after my exams.
SAD!!!

Now i'm training a new character in BOOTES with the help of Chris and Lewis.
Trying to jio Peiying over to Bootes and play too.

Already mentioned, my exams ended on 26 April.
Damn early as compared to my friends.
Good right????
I only had 4 examinable paper.
Cos French's exam is broken up to small tests throughout the sem.

First paper was Econs, Friday 21 April
Really have to thank FIFI and LEO for going thru last sem's paper and studying together while having Swensen's ice-cream buffet which i onli managed to eat 5 scoopes of ice-cream.
Not forgetting MS TAN for answering my econs questions and teach me what i dunno.
I feel i'm not fated to do econs.

Second paper was Physics IIE, Saturday 22 April
That was the killer module that i took for this sem.
Had to memorise formulas from Charges and Magnetism to Quantum.
Thanks for some help from the TA and some hints too... :)
Paper was do-able except for that spider question sitting on the string.
dunno what the heck the question was talking about.
Hope i can score well here.

Third paper was Linear Algebra, Tuesday 25 April
Thank you TPC for your guidence and answering my questions which turned out to be of the same concept behind them.
I haven't told TPC that the Maths Dept changed my mentor from him to another tutor, which i've met him and din like him much.
Thanks to FM during the JC days, it really made me understand Linear Algebra a lot better.
Paper was easy to some extend.
Aiming for a "A" grade for this paper.

Last paper... Advance Calculus, Wednesday 26 April
The past paper scared the hell out of me...
Couldn't do a lot of the questions from there.
Wah...
Just to realised on that day that the paper was much more better as compared to the papers i've tried and looked thru.
Phew!!!!!
I kept thinking that i had to answer all questions and only to find out after finishing the second question that i only need to attemp 4 out of 5 questions.
Had 1 hr left to finish Q5 thinking that i had plenty of time.
But i started to panick a bit when i 20 minutes into Q5 and i haven't even finish the first part of it and there are about 3 parts left.

haha.... now exams are over!!!!
Start to worry about MONTAGE now.
I'm busy like little bees.
But the real time comes when everyone finishes their exams.

In the mean time, I need to do more exercises!!!!

Oh well... Life goes on..........................................................................

And so i was, walking from the Bedok MRT station towards the interchange...
the sky was dark on one half and evening blue on the other...
Lightnings were flashing across the dark sky from where i was walking...

yay!!! finally, i got camera to shoot lightning...
something i've been waiting to do for quite a long time.
But the camera is at home and i'm still at the interchange -_-"

the good thing was that the clouds are at the area near my house...
=> unobstructed view from my house balcony.

while queuing for the bus, i was observing the clouds.
Today has got pretty large amount of lightnings in the sky...
Guessed that might have been all the charges that have gathered for the pass few days...

The first thing i got home was to take the canon slr from my room
and stood at the window
position myself comfortably on the window cos my tripod with my friend...
i think i stood at the window for about 15 min.
holding the camera still...
shutter speed was at 4"
Imagine me holding the camera, eyes stuck at the eye piece for the 10 -15min...

hands got tired man!!!
and the lightning din coorporate with me...
come at the worng time, or my fingers are too slow to react

haha...
oh well lets wait till the film gets developed which has been in the cam for months...
since i when for the ubin trip with gerald and guys...

Bad news!!!

I've just checked my mail and realised
that i've been resigned a new maths mentor...

So out of curiosity, i went to check the maths dept homepage
To find out who my new mentor was.

Click click scroll and click...
My mentor's particulars came out.
He looked kinda familar though.
Clicked on his homepage link...
Scroll down and saw his timetable...
He's tutoring MA1101R...
What i'm taking currently

That confirmed my thoughts...
It's him...
The one who relieved TPC when he was away in camp.
Damn...
It's the tutor which I din like.
Cos he wasn't teaching...
He was writing solutions which spanned the whole room's white boards.
180 degrees of linear algebra solutions...
And i couldn't really understand what he was trying to say.

So... In the first place,
Y did they have to change my mentor???
I liked my old mentor.
And he happened to be my linear Lecturer and tutor.
Everything were going on fine...
Y do they have to change????
Is he going away???
Cos he told me that he's on contract basis.

Maybe i'll drop both a email to say thanks and hi???

I want my old mentor back...
TPC...
