Random Thoughts II

Random Thoughts II
It's time I plan for my hols! Nothing seems concrete yet. HK trip with colin? Bangkok trip with Weiming and gang?

Just read Xiaxue's blog (yes, i do read her blog sometimes), and going on a cruise seems fun too, I haven been on Virgo though.

All these cant be financed without money and the only 'legal' job that i can do cos of the bond seems to be relief teaching. It's not that I dun enjoy it but guess it's just being me again wanting to try something different and challenging for myself sincE I will end up teaching 4 years later anyway. AnY jobs to offer?

I did not apply to KR for my next year's accomodation. Got accepted into Kuok. A small part of me wants to stay in KR, it's definitely different being a senior compared to a freshie in year 1, have spent these few days cooping up in my room, maybe I should have given myself another chance to interact with people. I do treasure the occasional talks with Zhan Rui and Glen. Guess transferring to another block is not an option for me.

I was also contemplating switching my majors. i seriously do not care how this bromine molecule will add to alkene, or whether that chlorine attack the alkyl halides from backside or forward. I tried to convince myself to liking the subj, but to no avail, seriously it does not affect me in any bit whether phenol is more acidic than alphatic alcohols. I dun foresee myself working in the lab, all i wanted is that I can become a teacher to relate to my students and to make a difference in their lives. I suddenly realised that being a chem/maths teacher in the future may not serve that purpose. I need to have passion in what I teach, and i DUn really find it the science subjs thaT i am doing. Spoke to a senior in hall and Vijay about it, there's no guarantee that I will enjoy geography. Doing an exposure module GE1101 is not a fair gauge of my interest and ability in the subject. Dint do Geo @ A levels, changing to a new faculty and having to fulfil its requirements and getting MOE's permission to switch my majors are all the things that I will need to go through. SEP plans are to be postponed too i guess. By waiting one more sem to ascertain whether I like geo will be bit too late and I dun wanna spend an extra semester in NUS.

Exploring the option of changing my second teachign subj to Geography like what selina did. Perhaps thats the way to go, it will mean taking disgusting linear algebra for nothing, or perhaps its becos of that that I met her. I need to make up my mind soon, in the mean time its time to head back to Organic Chemistry. "Still trying to deceive myself that organic chem rox!"

Hey...it is good to follow ur heart once in a while. understand u dun realli give a damn in conc hydrochloric acid being super reactive with water, nor what the F*** comes after Ag in the periodic table, but u gotta know what puts food on ur table.
think ahead of wat the society, the working community needs in the future and work towards it. Stable ur future first b4 following ur dreams.
After all, more than 50% of students take up a job which has of any god-damn relation with the major subjects they sat for anyway.
Work smart, choose smart. The Xiong-xiong I know, he can make the right choices. u are on the route to success. Trust me. Treasure it.
try not to understand a subject logically. Instead try to love it. Naturally, everything will fall into place.

hey Matt..

You did make a lot of sense when saying that. Life in school is tough, i am sure working out there aint that easy either. It's really cool to have friends out there like you who cares even though we haven met up for donkey years. Seems like this is your birthday month, hope I haven missed it??

Hahaha! Yep! Donkey yrs indeed. Guess working and school schedules dun meet. But 1 day...1 day...there is a chance.
We have our stresses and problems. Dun struggle with them. Work n incorporate them with ur life. It is call acclimatisation. Definitely make things easier 2 work with.
Ya..not yet past. It's this mth. But will not b in Singapore definitely. Dest. still unconfirm due 2 agency's confirmation.
Ya...anyway, do keep me posted with ur decision.
