Enough bitching. Lets get to work. I never did expect the Pre-U Seminar to have such a huge impact on me.... Nvm, lets start from the beginning. Sun night never slp cos brushing up on FMGT slides that werent used due to some technical problem with Faith's com... Alamak. Then went for Pre-Uni Seminar. That was fast, wasn't it? :D
Monday- Reached school, then waited some time for bus, b4 w reached NTU. Got to know my room mate favian. He was the friend of my ex-classmate Yvonne from ex-TB30, such a nice coincidence. He's very nice. Mainly had ice-breaking, team bonding stuff, before we went Prima. Prima was a fun trip, as we got to explore the operations of a business 1st hand, as well as EAT. I dunno how much I ate on Mon. Haha.
Tuesday- Formal attire. Ooh. Hot. 6 meals in a day. Opening ceremony, I fell asleep, was too tired. Parallel presentation was cool. ACJC was really good- I particularly like the slide designs. My grp mate jazlyn was pretty cool too. Eh, talked with Rachel about Disney during panel discussion. I did keep an eye on the slides though. It was a very animated discussion. Lol. Hope she is able to achieve her dreams! We started work on the project....
Wednesday- Mainly project day... Jazlyn claimed Glen and I were not anxious, though compared with Rahul, we are probably light years behind. :D I was kinda worried about the proj throughout. Berlinda usually keeps quiet, but towards the submission timeline, she suddenly came to life. Very interesting thing to observe. Oh yea, and must thank her for her Sudoku game. Kept me awake. Lol.
Thursday- Istana trip. Won't comment much. The night was much better. Celebrated Sree's birthday and all, while sharing our thoughts and first impressions. Cool stuff.
Friday- I gonna miss them all. Haha. I was 1 of the 1st few to leave, so dunno what happened after that. Headed back to school. Blah blah...
Today- WIMS. Rocks. Cant wait for next 3 days.
So what conclusions have I reached? No.1 I need to find myself. Beyond the person Ken molded me into. I seriously dun have the stomach for anymore of this competitiveness, and having to endure all kinds of rubbish. As much as Ken has helped shaped me, this has been a serious drawback. Gonna redo a life plan later. Starting all over from scratch. Next, the JC people are far better than I thought. Yes, we poly students do hold an edge in some areas. But think about it. In their 1st year in Uni, they will already have made back for the difference in knowledge and skills. With their presentation skills, additional knowledge, background etc, once again, we will be placed at a disadvantage. Even more so for us guys who have to go NS. At least the JC people will have 1 year of being more in the game than us. So GG.
Maybe what I saw was the cream of the crop. But it still is enough. Compare no. of JCs to Polys, and compare the intake number. 1 class just needs erm... 3 of these elite, and we will have a hard time. We all need to work very very hard...
Finally, thank you so much to SG18. We ROCK. :D Hope to see you all soon!!! I'll never forget this event, so much I have gained from it....
Remembering what life is.....
