Feeling darn depressed over the words of a certain someone. Maybe even kind of pissed.
Madam, it's not that we don't want to do it. Can't you see that the person right in front of you has dedicated more time to her CID than most in the CID 4? I refuse to believe I didn't work as hard as others for my CID grade.
Some other project can be rushed in a night and be given an A grade. It's unfair to say you'll fail me because mine is more tedious and therefore did not produce a product.
I read papers, I do my individualised RESEARCH. It's just UNFAIR to say that you'll just FAIL me because the fact that you need to key in the results.
It's bad enough that my partner has a school timetable which doesn't allow alot of time for him to help out during school time. SO, I've to FINISH EVERYTHING till date more or less by MYSELF.
It's worse that my project is not one that can be rushed. COME ON. I'm doing a PROJECT that is SUPPOSED TO SPAN ONE YEAR. AND IT'S not MY FAULT if there is no result coming out. NOT ALL RESEARCH can give you results you REALISE?!
People can take easily a few years to complete my project. But my prof gave me this one as a challenge, since we did solve some structures last year.
I go to lab every WEEK. It's all the way to NTU. And one sample needs at least 2 days to complete. That's NOT counting NMR booking timeslots and stuff.
And now you say I've to rush results out by 2 weeks after EOYs...
I don't mind if you fail me because I'm not working hard enough. But it's unfair to threaten to fail my CID just BECAUSE you can't see my final product.
As quoted from some professor, sometimes it's the process that matters.
GAh. I've gotten myself so worked up. And to think it all happened this morning.

Let's first start with a little of Mr Chow's apology (which incidentally wasn't much of an apology now that you think of it...he was trying to make a joke out of it...wasn't very tactless...you'll see why later...)
Here's a Quote from Val's blog:
""and today chow came in to apologise. note, imagine this passage said in chow's roll-eye-monotonous-but-somehow-intriguing, in a Singaporean-Gregory-house type of talking down, partially flat voice:
"on that day, the chem people's bus was delayed so I phoned the bus company to complain so they apologised and sent another driver. chem was at 11.20. then around 12.10 4A was bugging me to let them go as half the class were going for the IMCB open house, so i released them. then as i passed by the car porch i saw the bus already waiting there. dunno if it was the chem or IMCB bus or what. then the bus driver went to the general office of complain and said he has been waiting for some time already, so i didn't want him to become angrier, i got mixed up and thought bio was at 12.20 as well, so i went to 4B and
blasted the class. blasted the class you know, no one said anything. then i went to 4K? while passing the canteen i saw 4A people eating so... i went down and
blasted them. they were all stunned, all the food also dropped from their mouth, forks and spoon also dropped (hand demo how the food dropped LOL) they quickly dumped their food into the bin. so i went to 4K and..
blasted the class as well. then i came over and
blasted 4E. not a single person told me the correct time was 12.50. so you all let me go ahead and
blast (hand showing explosion!!!! LOLOLOL) okay, the whole world. did you tell me the time?"
everyone was so enthralled by his hilarious storytelling skills and were gasping for breath, laughing their ass' off so Joyce answer"yes? we said 12.50pm"
WAHAHAH. more chaotic laughter. roaring laughter with people rolling here and there. gosh it was such a comical sight with chow rolling his eyes.
""We-ell. at least you can see...haha. I missed all the IMCB laughter - went for the ICES open house, so I left EARLY. I really want to see Mr Chow's furious face though. and Mr Tan's face would have been more interesting...
LOLLOL. Anyway...yea...so alot has been happening...out of which here's the few stuff on my mind:
1. CID 4 Oral Presentation is in front of Mrs Lee and Mr Tan LS - on a totally difficult topic I think I'll die explaining. ESPECIALLY since my project works on a different timeline and I have NO RESULTS.
2. Science camp was over yesterday...hiphiphooray? and Mr Lee GS was really nice!!! Fancy dropping by today to give us, the science club people, Japanese Chocolate Cookies with a handwritten note on each box!! PSST. *note to Mr Chow: we do so much got no gift leh...*
3. PE Badminton is like the PE of the century. Why can't they just announce that PE=Badminton for the whole of Year 5? like that, everyone will participate and LOVE PE...
4. Still moaning over piano...please please please let me pass with that awful standard of piano...
5. Loads of mugging to do over the weekend.
6. English Test is tomorrow.
7. Monday got some science thing. Don't know for what...
8. Why are school materials so expensive? Why Edusave can't pay? It is 136 dollars I think...
9. My table is getting messier. Yet I have no motivation to clear it. Everything's just so near to me once put on the table.
10. I have sleeping disorder...lol. I feel sleepy at 2pm-4pm in the afternoon and today it is extending to 7pm. Help!! My brain is not functioning now...at this present moment.
That ends the top 10 list.
Poem time.
This time is on another current affair:
PricesIs there always a consequence to every action?Is there alwasy a debt to pay?Must everything follow this rule?Must buy and sell prevail?Oh yea sometimes they say you can...
Use all its products all the time
Yet not pay a single dime
Just have shares which don't pop
Climbing higher with each drop
Advertise and advertise
Yet nothing will return in thrice
Pour everything in here
But see, even Wall Street goes under the beer
Yes, everything must have just consequences and prices to pay
After all, nothing comes free
But somehow I think the world isn't fair...
Why can US Govt bail AIG out?
Why not bail others out?
Why can GIC buy off Morgan Stanley just like that?
How is it that 100 years of service can be run down by just 1 day's work?
Maybe what we should learn is this:
That the world favours the rich and powerful,
That the small scale companies don't earn a bull
That the rich gets richer in this market
That the poor and ill-informed gets smashed into curd
Prices.
A distinct and different thing altogether
When placed in a different place of assured
Bonds and banks, we believed
Up till today when it reeks...

HERE WE GO AGAIN.
I flunked my piano exam today.
I know I did.
My pieces didn't come out correctly - and for some unknown reason, my fingers kept slipping, making me play wrong notes.
OHNO.
Yea. it was so bad that I spent the 1st 5 minutes in my room just now crying. Not that it helps.It just feels so bad.
I have nothing to say already. Maybe I didn't quite concentrate enough.

terrible, terrible business indeed.
Just want to scream my anger at screwing up my Biology.
And here I was thinking my physics is worse than my biology. Seems like it's the OTHER WAY ROUND.
darn.
Now left SS - shall not wish for too much le.
Something that just popped into my mind -
Some people above the age of 20 are reading my blog.
Ok...and I didn't just learn it today btw.
But that sure isn't a problem.Dear cousins and other un-named individuals...Welcome!Anyway, I am De-proving. So well - buck up buck up! (and you shall notice that I am back into hyper mode).
Ok. that's it for today's short post - I'm going to go out soon - I'm doing piano testing tonight!
*by piano testing - I'm not buying a piano. I'm testing the piano for thursday's Grade 8 exam! Wish me luck!*

PrologueHi everyone. My name is Rita and I'm a Zombie. I live in a little room with food on one side, table on the other, a bed and a computer. I tend to stick myself into my room 12/7. And the other 12/7, I bury myself in projects and school. I keep telling myself I exist.
ContentYAY! finally my projects life is OVER (at least for the time being). I am NOT going to stick myself into any other project except NRP for the next month. And I'm going to go from 12/7 in my room to 15/7. Till now I haven't started any mugging. and till now I'm still kinda wasting my holidays.
EpilogueSeriously, I wonder will my December Holidays be as no life as the other holidays this year. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let Dec hols be FUN-FILLED. I want to go out with all the ventures and play this december. and I want to go overseas. and I want to celebrate it without any homework. I want my life to go back to primary school days. If not only for a while.
Conclusion:
Well. There you have it. my inner thoughts - and that's only a summary.
Next up: about today's solar city project competition.
Our chart SUCKS big time.
But the model rocks my socks.
And our presentation wasn't all too bad.
I think we have a chance of getting something, yet maybe not. After all, the chart looks TERRIBLE.
Shall not comment on the rest of the groups from RV - but I shall say that ITE's model really looks GREAT. o.0.Maybe we don't stand a chance after all...
