I finally dragged myself to the computer and check my mails.What a tiring and mentally draining week man.I'm glad I've managed to pull through and am still alive in my dingy but cozy home.Shall summarise what I did this week then.
Actually there is not much to summarise because what I did everyday is so routine!Pretty much covered in my past entries.Well,something worth mentioning was that I went for an interview at the thirteenth storey('unlucky' number eh) at MOE on Wednesday.It was an interview for an attachment for the A*Star Research Institute,specifically,the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology sector.I know it sounds way chim but anyway to sum it up,I'm an interviewee for the attachment programme.I'm surprise I'm shortlisted for the interview because my academic results wasn't as impressive as the other applicants in my school.It was a nerve wrecking experience because I'm late for the interview and I didn't really prepare beforehand.When I enter the lounge area,a crowd in grey uniforms greeted me.I realised my 'opponents' vying with me for the limited vacancies in the attachment programmes were from NJC.My legs went numb and I knew I was the odd one out there.I badly want to be swallowed by the ground but I knew I got nothing to lose anyway.My partner for the interview was a girl from NJ and she really sha ren bu jian xie.The scientific terms she bombarded were enough to kill me,leaving me with a miserable speech to impress the interviewer.I really felt like a 'country pumpkin' among them but heck,its over anyway.
I got back my second Bio test papers and I'm one of the fortunate few in my class that passed!So happy la!The level did badly for this test and the statistics of the number of people who passed were something that we should not be proud of.Even though I passed by a short margin,I'm really happy because at least I know that I had improved.Sometimes,you have to be contented with the small things in life.Remember,small things accumulate,if you add them up altogether,you will realise that your life is a joyful and meaningful one..
Got back my GP test results today!There were only 4 passes in my class and I'm not one of them.Pathetic right?The top in my class got like 4 more marks than me only lor.Anyway,its a test on comprehension and it was kinda difficult to understand the passage.I guess my class ought to speak more English and read more books to improve their vocab!You can hear people blabbering in Mandarin even during GP lessons>.<
I stink badly,must be a cue for me to bathe now.Take care everybody,ciao...=)
