2 things on hand I have to decide. First would be attachment at RMIT university in Melbourne. Second would be standard chartered marathon.
First thing first. I was chosen for the attachment at RMIT to do research at the university itself. I've been contemplating if I should go or not. Let me try listing pros and cons.
| Pros | Cons |
1) Good for my portfolio when I get into university
2) Get to gain experience of being abroad for studies
3) Good exposure
4) Able to find out if I really have the interest in the research field
|
1) H1N1, quarantine when I get back.
2) I've already booked my driving lessons. Going to Melbourne means pushing back the date of getting my license
3) I have to get my own accomodation when I get there
4) The calculated expenditure is roughly 3.6k or more
5) This is not a subsidies attachment!

Next, Standard Chartered. I'm contemplating if I should take part in the 10km or 42km this year. I've always wanted to run 42km, but I was underage when I first joined standard chartered. This year I'm of legal age. But the thing that is holding me back is the mid semester test. The date of the run is on the 6th of dec, Sun. The very next day will be my mid semester paper. I'm afraid I might be too tired to even concentrate for the paper. 10km, I've been running it for the past 2 years. Both were great. If i will to run this year, I'll be targeting reduce my timing.
Man, hard to decide. Comments, anyone?
I can finally heave a sigh of relieve. I had been so damn upset over my carelessness in my engineering mathematics paper. I threw precious marks away because of a dumb mistake such as (-1 x -4)= 5? Real dumb indeed. I was so depressed because I thought I would end up getting a really lousy grade. Well, I ended up being overly worried cause I managed to score an A still.
Bioanalytic was quite a disappointment. I was so sure I could score an A for it, but ended up with a B+. Once again, due to careless mistake. When will I ever learn to stop making such mistake? I don't know.
Anyway, been to starbucks with Meiqi today after playing Cluedo (damn addictive game) with my classmate. It was especially cold today and I was shivering like crazy. Was supposed to study with her but I ended up reading my book and chatting with Shona and Ping en who came after a photo exhibition. Meiqi was actually complaining about a guy sitting behind her who kept farting, polluting the entire starbucks with his pungent air. Couldn't stop laughing at her. LOL!
(p.s Mustard killed green with a trophy in the theatre!)
I'm really exhausted from all the worrying. I've been worrying for my mid-semester papers. I've been worrying about my diploma plus. I've been worrying about completing report. I've been worrying if I could get into local universities. Basically, all the frustrating worries.
I really want to have a day when I don't have to even think about those worries. Just have a day out and have fun.
I haven't been to the movies for a long time. Other than the time I watched
with my primary school friends. I basically went to the movies only once this year! There's so many movies I want to watch, but there is seriously no time because of all the assignments that needed to be completed.
If only I had one day free of works and worries...
I think I'm going to be certified a country bumpkin soon. I went Orchard and I actually felt foreign there. So many things about it has change. Like the MRT walk to Wisma. I'm so used to the while "wall" while Ions is under construction. Now it's gone and it feels like a different place rather than Orchard to me.
Anyway, MST's over for my friends except for me. I've still got one last math paper to go and it's killing me. I have yet to grasp knowledge of solving certain problem and I certainly don't understand some little part of the chapters. I've been doing speed training for the test. I hope I'll do well cause this module is killing my brain.
