Working Class
I never thought how we have already become part of the “working class” in this society until yesterday night. Faizah and I made a dinner appointment with our former co-form teacher, Ms. Evelyn Song. She retired about 7 June 2006 when we were doing our upper secondary course in school. For a long part of [...]
Second chance. Second hope.
And yes, I was really disappointed when I was turned away by the National University of Singapore. I’ve heard from many counterparts that the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is competitive, but relatively easy as compared to other degree courses. I pinned my hopes pretty high up – because I know this is what [...]
Graduation 2010
Thank God. I remember the first time I was in the Auditorium, the entire place was filled with strangers and 22 of them will be my classmates. Little did we imagine at the point in time, that three years later, we are going to march up that very same stage to collect our Diploma. Little [...]
Be ye not so stupid.
On May 19, I will be conferred a Diploma of which I have totally no passion in. I thought the three-year ordeal reached its greatest when my I realized my last semester caused my GPA to fall 0.06. It may seem insignificant, but a number between 3.312 and 3.306 looks like THERE IS A BIG [...]
Bedok West Primary School
BWPS. It turned out that meeting those Primary 3 classmates from some 12 years ago was a blast. It was way much better than I’d envisioned. Although the ice was pretty thick because we hadn’t seen each other for some time, but we broke it as soon as we start recalling all the stupid stories [...]
My super-white shoe with knee-high school socks.
The type of exhaustion is slowing coming back. I became pretty tired about my training with Starbucks because so much information is coming in and the brain is like MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY. I want to break my skull and shut it up. It was more of being tired mentally than that of physical. I hope [...]
I am unemployed.
I think revision for exams should be done at the eleventh hour. Especially when they decided to test you ONE DEFINITION PER TOPIC, then reading it last minute keeps everything fresh in the mind. I had forgotten to bring the calculator and my student card today… and thankfully they didn’t decide to expel me from [...]
Not exactly the best situation.
This is not exactly the situation any parent would be proud of. 6 minutes before the commencement of the examination, I was issued a stern verbal warning regarding cheating because… I kind of turned around and ask a question as everyone was getting settled. I realized it is not the best thing to do, but [...]
For all the sleepless nights.
I never quite thought it through that there will be a day where we will be standing in formal wear, doing our last presentation in Polytechnic. The past three years, although very miserable because of projects and assignments, it had passed in a blink of an eye. I recalled struggling with Java Programming project in [...]
I’ll show you, only if you come with me.
I think most of my classmates are still in school right about now trying to tie up those loose ends of our projects. Guess where on this planet I am? Home. I really would like to stay a little late so I could also make the ends meet, but I was totally drunk on Anarex [...]
