Year 3 Semester 1 Results Out le~!

A minute ago, i've just clicked on the examination results icon in the school website... 

And yes, was quite happy with the results that i received, but definitely there's lots of room for improvement!!! 

Overview: 6 subjects taken, all cleared with 1A-, 4B and 1B-, GPA at 3.55/5 for this semester. 2nd best semester since year 2006 ( total of 5 semesters so far).

Dear, share with you on the breakdowns for the subjects k :)

Cores

Metallic & Ceramics Materials (4 AU)

It is one of the most important subject last semester, constitutes a total of 4 Academic Units. Hence, any "mishaps" will cause a devastating pull down to the cumulative GPA. Really took quite a long time to understand the concepts and doing the tutorials for the exam preparation. By the way, it has the most lecture notes to go along with. Initial exam goal for grade was a B- for this module. 

Well-O-Well, i have achieve it... Expected grade: B- Received grade: B-  Point = 3.0 

Analysis of materials (3 AU)

Have been setting a high expectation for this particular module, reason because of the interesting and easy to grab concepts in this modules. Similar concepts in the tutorials were set in the exam. Therefore, the standard (ie. the bell curve for the corhort might not favour to my side.) Scored a A- in the previous CA, which constitutes 30% of total grade ( but you nv know how they deal with their bell curve). Thus, if i'm lucky ( and also after attempting the paper), to sustain an A- would be a bonus for me. 

Yeah, prediction was correct... i have received it this morning.

Expected grade: A- Received grade: A- Point = 4.5 

Materials Failure (3 AU)

This module required a lot of analysis to the phenonemum as well as the different situations that one or more concepts can be explained. And due to the 2hrs time constraint that we have, the individuals will need to exploit the facts and reasonings as fast as possible. Quite a few hours given to this module as well.. the project assignments took quite some time too. However, it all worthwhile darling, because i have also met my grade set. Expected grade: B Received grade: B Point = 3.5

Material Aspects in Design (3 AU)

Most tedious module for the semester... To be allocated with the a a group, assigned with a design project, meet your tutor, come out with a project report, to perform a presentation, 60% allocated to it and a 40% to a lecture quiz. Well, i have expected to be competing with the rest of the corhort ( again due to the bell curve), so kinda have a mental preparation to score less for this module... 

Expected grade: B+ Received grade: B Point= 3.5 

Dont know how the rest of my team mate fair for this module... Hmm, hope it similar, if not.. i "dui" heart le :X

Advanced materials processing (4 AU)

Many uncertainty to this particular subject. Been so called " the most xiong" module for material science. Firstly, it constitute 4AU, secondly past year examinations paper were limited, thirdly feedbacks from seniors "Xiong, Difficult, JIA BIG YOU"... In fact, i still find it quite alright, especially for the latter topics, required alittle of visualisation before we can attempt the questions. concepts were similar to some other modules also. Perhaps, the mindset were being manipulated by the fellow frens which prevent an individual from his/her will to perform during the examination. Initially aim was to obtain B- for it... Woot, out-come a B for it.. Kinda exceed my expectation, yippy!!! really help me to pull up the CGPA thou. 

Expected grade: B- Received grade: B   Point= 3.5 

Elective

Forensic Science (3 AU)

Arghh.. this module really a disappointment. Came out from the exam hall (that evening) with the intuition that i might not be able to grab a A or A- from it. Initally "Xing Xin Man Man" , because i really made an effort to trace out the concepts and some of the key points (a liitle summary) for the topics covered. Never did i expect to come out of the hall with T.T when my fren and i tried to compared the answers thou. It's an MCQ exam with a couple of short answer questions. Therefore, one mistake/ one worng option chosen might cause a grade low ( the bell curve again lor!!) Anyway, should not dwell on it.. i have myself to blame, for being to careless for the option chosen. Anyway, expected to have an A- but obtained a B .. If i have S/U it, it could have made my CGPA higher. S/U = dun have to include the grade in the overall result (constitutes 3 AU). Anyway, i have cleared all the required electives, therefore.. no more electives for me to worry coming year 4.

My little thoughts... ...

It's almost 1am in the morning. And after this blog entry, i will be going to check my semester results posted in the school website. Wish me luck ok...? darling. 

Hmm, this blog entry will be one which will not be unedited, so if there's any mis spelling somewhere or another, or if theres any grammar mistakes, "no link" somewhere, or maybe there's not linkage between the ideas and content, pardon your little darling ok? :)

These few days kinda "not shun" for the both of us. We been have little misunderstandings and miscommunications about our thinkings and actions etc. Family issues and most importantly , some essential components about our relationships. Well, dear.. after many hours of thoughts and pondering, i am quite certain that we are looking into the future between us. As what you have always mentioned to me, we are concerning for each other, our well-being, the common goals and actions. We need to have them align together. And why you are doing so, because the more we love for each other, the more care and concern for our love to last long. Most importantly, you have see me the one that can lead u to happiness... dear, likewise i felt the same too. The arguments for the past few days may seem a disppointment for both of us , i.e. we may not be able to meet the expectations for one another, but on the other hand, i feel that these are the vital arguments that will be the determinant of our lasting relationship for now and in the future. Really de! i should say thank you because without your initalization, everything will be kept at heart, same for me too! 

I must admit that i have many things to learn about BGR, issue that i have also neglected, the small little things that a girl would like the guy to do for herself. Actually to think of it, i may have taken things for granted also. ** Things that you did mentioned to me, i should have taken note more seriously.** A girl is still a sweet little girl.. this should also applied to my darling too right? :) Action really speak louder than words. Say is not enough, i should also do my actions de. 

Hmm, another thing that i  have learn to not do is to be more gentle in the tone in which i reply during a soft argument de. This is something which i had nv learn to realise in the past. I must learn to relate in a softer and better manner. Hmm, feel really guilty that i have always reprimand you that you spoke loud in the public. I myself also doing it!!! Yucks. ** dear, beat my backside when next meet k?** 

Generally i someone who listen to ppl, and will change myself and not repeat the mistakes if the one party is making the correct stances. Actually, dear.. i really think you are a wise person when you tried to put your point of view to me.. The EQ towards BGR is really impressive. honestly, i must learn alot from you. Although, this should not be the case eh... :X I understand your point of view de. Its just that the small little ego in me tell me not to say you are right? half tell me to say U're right! half telling me that U're wrong kinda idea here.  hope you understand me here. :P As i walk my way home.. the flow of thoughts came in... Actually i do doubt my reasons that i gave you de. The point about not to buy you things at times, at that juncture which i mentioned about you have (the eg.)many bangles le, was really qi hua.. It was my little ego that prevent me from saying, dear.. i should have buy you, sorry k! The more i think about it, i really feel bad thou. All gf should want her bf to have done it more often. 

And on the point that money matter, i do admit that i know these period u been more capable ($) to buy things or to enjoy yourself, likewise, for these holiday, my allowance came solely from my ICT and IPPT incentive. So, i have been trying to spend lesser to tie down for the January IA period. Dear, so i kinda have a this mentality to save more... Dear, sorry k, should let u know earlier de. By the way, i feel really happy when you know the point why i have shown you my bank account last week at expo. I didnt say it explicitly, but i know you knew the "han yi" right. Been wanting to do it quite awhile ago, but just cant find the appropriate time and place to do it. this significes that you are very important person in my life, to let u know  this personal thing belonging to me to you... an action which i felt one of the most "dearest" thing that i want to do to show my love. 

So, about the money matter, when you have asked me in the train about the future, what was thinking in my mind was about the uncertainty that i have... The 1st answer that i wanna give is "YES" , i will be the one ... but on the other hand, i also dont wanna make an empty promise by saying so.. maybe i have neglect the point that what you would like to hear at that moment of time, but my sudden pause might have made u alittle disappointed. Because, i feel that i should not just say "YES" when now i'm a student without $ capability at this point of time. My inner self really tell me to work hard in the future to give you the most happy life thereafter. And relate this to my family, i would also wanna do well in the future, change the exisiting lifestyle of my family, not wanting to live the same standard as what i am now. ** everyone wanna live better dont we." Perhaps its back to my little ego again, dun wan to make an empty promise to my love , and only wanna show it to her when the time comes. 

You might now be wondering about the status issue thing... Well, i do admit i was not being polite to say that why now i dun and when status change, i will.. Hmm, maybe i'm being a little selfish and reserve here.. ** which i know i'm really wrong**  to only do such things when at different status. Hmm, after what you have say, i really realise my wrong.. perhaps, i can put it as 

" Do it often do it more, your love will love you forever more.. "  nice quote right! Hmm, not being playful right, but i guess the quote do explain my thought. 

Why should i reserve this right, only when we are married, is it because only then she wun run away or something, ~ it's really really wrong here.. What am i thinking. Dun bring in your old r/s here pls!!! Your darling really a nice girl.. She would not have say that you can ditch the girl if she always want you to do the buying. Furthermore, what she really wan is the thought and not the cost of the product!!! Can't you see that , chris!!!! 

Darling, this time u have really knock it some sense to me. I should really fan xin fan xin yi !!! I know you really love me alot, same for me too.. Really want to spend the rest of my life with you de.. Really .. guess i have to really start going for consultation with Dr. Love or something to keep our relationship going, smooth and CC99...  Will definitely keep in mind wht you have mentioned to me last few evenings. I know you see in me alot of potential , likewise i will not let you down, will continue to strive hard towards our relationship de k...!

Woot, a really long blog entry this time. But the time , you see it, think i'm in the uni chalet le. Hope this entry will let u know more about my perspective or feeling. oh ya~! hope can understand de wor. Wont be editing it de.

By the way, u like my new hairstyle last evening? :) Wish me luck for my results in few minutes time!!!

  

An old comic strip that i'd once drew!

As i was helping out in the spring cleaning of the house. Trying regroup some of the boxes and bags in my room, i came across a file which had this drawing. As i took a closer look, it was a comic strip drawing during my holiday work at this retail stall. If we were to look closely to the content of the drawing, the comic strip tells us about the stall- layout, and some of the interesting ordeals that came across during that period. And i believe that the holoday work had nerture me to be a wiser guy, able to communicate better with people, and most importantly to learn about how business comes about and to handle them well. Now let us take a look at it...

Step by step --- Xmas special

In this blog entry, i'm going to make an attempt to describe the steps taken to make a DIY photo collage pin-board. This is the christmas + NY 2009 gift that i have made for my dear dear ( not pear pear ok? :P) 

Step1: Gather the handicraft that i need before the attempt to fix all together. 

First, i would need to have a pin board, this can be purchase separately from a store nearby.

Secondly, i would have to measure the dimension to fix t

he "anti-grip" material to the right of the pin board. By doing so, i will be able to compartmentalize the 2 portion, 1 for message board, another for the photo-collages. 

Step 2: Cut the letters that resemble my darling's name "J-O-R-E-E-N" , remember to keep in mind of her favourite colour (pink). Use a black paper for back ground, this helps to give a contrast for the letter to be more visible. Next, attempt to cut a heart shape from a shiny cardboard , to be placed at the right top hand corner.

  

Step 3: Prepare the materials required to make this decoration; 1X shiny wrap, 1X black string, 1X aluminum foil, 3X rose stalk. Combined them to form this unique decor to be added on to the pin-board. 

Step 4: Positioned the brown paper to the "message board", added on with the rest of the handicraft ( step 1 to 3) , this will be the "skeleton" of the photo-collage pin board.

Step 5: Remember that my darling will be able to display new photo collages in the near future, therefore, to make an attempt for a photo-pockets to keep the old ones if new ones come in. All the photos collages were design + gathered earlier last week, therefore, in order not to damage them whlist pinning on-board, it is desirable to cut and paste a small paper square (with hole), attached them to the top center of each collage. 

Step 6: Attached the photo pocket to center bottom of the pin-board. 2x chicky chicks clips to add to the decor. Now, it's time to pin the photo collages onto the pin board. A maximum of 4-5 collages would be just nice to fit to board. 

Step 7: No printer at the moment. Remember to visit the school library to have the X'mas+NY2009 message print out, will end off by signing off. It will be attached on the message board. Wrapped it up with a nice wrapping paper, and the gift is really to meet my darling tomorrow!!! :D 

PS : Really like to thank my darling for her hardwork and time in making the x'mas card, its really nice and very "锦姿"... I have open up for display on my study desk. 

Batam Trip 2008!!!

It's been almost 2 weeks since the batam trip, and finally i'm able to post up this blog entry for this trip.

Initially, there was a doubt for whether the trip can proceed on, due to the tight schedules as well as the holiday peak season. And thanks to my little darling, she wa

s able to find this particular resort that was able to cater to our needs. I was so delighted when the reply (from agent) that the dates were available for us. Furthermore, the spa remedy package was also installed for us. 

Despite the 2D1N schedule, we were able to participate in the various activities that were catered for us. We visited various POI, indulged oureselves with some seafood lunch feast, brought back the memories with us ( photos and some local food products). Finally, my little darling stayed another night with me and cooked me a DIY dinner, so happy when i heard that its the 1st time she cooking for someone!!!  

Most importantly, she had really did an excellent one, ate almost all the soup and food that were prepared specially for me!  Dear, you have caught my stomach liao!!! heehee...

I'm just so a lucky guy... ... Whoo hoo! Thank you, darling...

My little thought: It's been always a blessing to have your loved one able to join you for a holiday trip, to places or countries that none have went before. Similarly, this batam trip was the 1st for both of us. So, everything afresh, the new environment and for both to gain the unique experience together.

LOVE

Read this on a website.. And i find it pretty meaningful, a short philosophy about this 4 letters word...

LOVE:

 

We think about it, Sing about it, Dream about it && Loose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear loosing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define && IMPOSSIBLE to live without.

shall be patient!!! our photos! :D

It was a great batam trip last weekend. I believe both dear and me have taken alot of photos for 2D1N trip. Furthermore, it was added on with a 1N hostel stay with my darling's 1st time DIY dinner for me!!! Feel really honoured to be the one to enjoy this consumptious meal that she has specially prepared for me. Well, think i shall wait for some of these photos to be uploaded by darling, before i gathered my thoughts to write a long blog entry for this batam trip (our very first time).

Later shall mark my 1st day in camp training session. Anyway, the next 2 days, i will be able to make my way home after the training programme. Shall be able to meet darling for dinner after that but ... i might be in sweaty-smelled condition (will be wearing the no.4 uniform). 

Alright, sweetheart... shall be awaiting for those batam trip's photos k!!! cant wait to have a look at them. 

Good night!!!

Hello !!!! 

Are you Miss Joreen Yee???

Don't look behind you... 

Yeap, it's you!!!

Online session with incentives?

It's almost 7.40pm, another 1 hour to go before the end of the chatting session with 4 other online "friends". All of us were involved in this "economy resession" dialogue with the 2 hosts from a company. A series of questions were asked and all of us need to response accordingly. So far so good, but i feel alit awkward during the conversation. Some questions were rather personal but i have tried to ans them to the best fo my ability. JY ba!! 

Nevertheless, today is the final countdown day for the holiday trip with darling!!! 

12th Blog Entry!!! Woohoo...

Yeah! 11th blog entry so far and more to come in the near future. It has been an interesting way to make your day/week events. Something that you have observed or feel, to be expressed into the computer "screen". Once awhile, i'm able to click on the site to view the posts. :) 

Yesterday was the result releasal day for my darling. Really delighted to have received her sms with the note that she had cleared all the subjects. It has been a tough semester for her since jul, well.. guessed the hardwork had paid off... 29th December 2008 will be my turn.. Hope i'll be able to clear all too, esp the 2x 4Academic Unit modules (almost half my brain cells went over to these 2 subjects thou).

Congratulation! Darling.....

 

A long blog entry tonight!

Tonight i shall write a longer blog entry!!!

I have had a long walk this afternoon with the initial aim of purchasing some basic equipment for my upcoming in-camp training next week. Never did i expect that i bought quite a few things back home in the end of the day. 

ICT-Basic Equipment purchasing

At around 2 plus pm, i took a MRT ride to Jurong East Station. The E-mart was located at the Chevron, a clubhouse for the civil servants. It took about 45 mins journey to reach JE station. Soon, after i took a look into the locality map. Yesh! Saw the landmark of Chevron. It seems a short distance away from the JE station thou. So, i took a look at the watch again (3.15pm), took a look at the weather, and finally decided to walk to Chevron.

Took an extremely long route to Chervon, bypass the International Business Park (IBP) and also overlook the AYE. ^^ I have never expected to have walk such a long distance. At one instance, i took a dead end path!! So embarassing, I have to walk fast to avoid those aunties and uncles who saw me from the opp road( they were waiting for the company buses back home). After almost 40 mins of walk, i finally see the Chevron (the feeling as thou i have reached a treasure island) LOL. At about 5pm, i reached the Emart, took almost 1/2 an hour to sort out the stuff that i need to buy at this point of time. Bought a couple of PT shorts, powder, singlets, waterbottles, and most importantly, the camouflage bag which served the main purpose for the trip---> hopefully i can have all my stuff packed into it, so that i won't have to bring many bags for this ICT. 

(ICT = old birds= no need to bring so many things) LOL. 

By the way, i have also bought an Engineer PT singlet for my darling, so that we can wear them together for future jogging session etc. (yeshhh.. got a S size for her, think should be just nice for her!!!)

Finally, purchased the necessary items with the $ credits that i have accumulated over the past 2 years. Decided to not want to walk further, took a bus 52 and proceed back to JE for my dinner.

Jurong East Interchange 

Back in Jurong East Interchange, the place was crowded, reason being that it was almost knock-off hours for working ppl... Carried a big plastic bag (with all the equip items from Chevron), so decided to have my dinner nearby. My hungry stomach told me to stop walking and look for the nearest food court. So, sticked with Vari-Nice Food court. I had a hor fun and a cup of ice coffee. Took a while to finish my food. 

Since it is hardly for me to come to the west at times, so decided to walk over to IMM building for some window shopping. Perhaps i'm able to grab some Xmas gift or something for darling ... 

IMM Building

It's almost 6plus pm , more people are making their way to this building. Xmas greeting decorations filled the main entrance. Shoppers were able to hear the Xmas songs being played . Well, perhaps that was the reasons for me wanting to get a gift for darling this evening. First, i took a stroll in the giant, nothing gained my interests. Next, i took the escalator and level 3 marks the doorstep of Daiso.

Well, i really admire the management of Daiso, the concept of marking the low cost, good quality products that make shoppers want to purchase more items from them. In fact, i'm one of them that bought some stuff from Daiso. (Some handicrafts that would serve me well for this festive season). As i walk in the building, more shops were visited. Finally, one shop caught my eyes!!! Something that i have been longing for, something that i wanted to buy for my darling!!! 

Had a little chat with the salesgirl who have helped me to reassure my choice for this gift. Before that, i have also called darling to seek her little opinion. Think i shall play a little prank on her during the trip. In fact, i have asked her whether she would prefer blink blink and black color. (Yessh, that PT singlet also black wor!!! ahahah) Anyway, i believe she will like this gift. And hope she would be wearing it, since its a "couple" thing. 

However, i'm not sure whether i should give her during the trip or on Xmas day. But, the significance of this gift can be positioned on both. My intuition tells me that i should give her during the trip since its more relaxing, and a place where there's 2 of us. Well, Xmas day will be alittle align to a festive meaning.

How? How? How? >.<>

Almost 1.5 years for our relationship. It had been relatively a good one with little hipcups along the way, and i really hope that the gift will symbolise that "i want" to walk many more miles with her. And the engraving that were made which symbolises the "i love" that it brings across to my darling!!!

Finally, to end of tonight's blog entry, i shall give a sneak preview of the gift for my darling girl aka LP !!!  

LP Wo Ai NI!!!!!

Darling, JY!!!

It's been almost a week since the end of last paper. Been staying at home, relaxing myself. Once awhile would be thinking of her, anticipating the good trip that we will be having, this coming saturday. Really hope she will enjoy the trip which i always in mind for her. I would like want her to relax herself, to be far away from our home, enjoying the spa remedy that have been installed for her. this trip will be a memorable one for her. Really hope she will enjoy it with ease! Since her result day falls TODAY!!! 4-12-2008. 

Darling, you will do well k! JY JY ! Shall give you the moral support!
