Knock Knock...

mid term tests are finally over for me! yuppie!...
but the exams are coming soon (again)...haha...

wow, looks like we have lots of poems here...haha...
but that's the point! post whatever you like here and share it with everyone!

well, june you are not really complaining alot. mine was even more last semester..haha...

I think the only possible time when i do not have any "dead" atmosphere in my class is when there's something called "participation" points. Meaning to say that whenever you present your solutions in class, the tutor will take down your name and marks will be given based on how well you have presented your solutions/participated in class during the whole semester. That's when everyone will "volunteer" to go up to the board to write out their solutions and do presentations. But what can we say? Like what one of my lecturers said, we are competing among ourselves.

If you want the grades, you just got to do it. Even if it seems more like going "for the sake of marks" rather than "for the sake of learning". of course, there are people who can't be bothered to even do anything about it, but frankly speaking, these are really the minority.

well, gotto go...
take care everyone! especially June!

Hey!

How's everyone? I guess all the Uni people are busy with their mid-term tests which explains why all the recent posts are made by Mun Thye rite?

It's been 2 weeks of uni in Melbourne and I'm dying under all the biochem!! Thermodynamics + Enzymes + Organic Chem... Yupz and it's just the 2nd week. I also have a MCQ test which takes up 10% of my exam marks just before Easter. It's also a misconception that the average Aussie student is slack, so whoever said that studying in Aust is easier than Singapore had better think twice. You've got a lot of competition coming from all directions.

But life is generally alright... The food is not too bad if you like western stuff. But the chinese food is always too salty as it has been moderated to suit the Aussie tastebuds... Melbourne weather is crazy too. Over here, it's a good idea to check the weather forecasts cuz you can get 4 seasons in a day. There's a fair drinking culture here as well, which is absolutely bores me since I don't drink or at least I'm not comfortable with drinking with people I just come to know.

Looks like I'm complaining a lot rite? Haha...

But the Aussies are really very nice people. You can just about talk to anyone on the streets. They are generally receptive to everyone and you can always count on them to speak up in class so there isn't a "dead" atmosphere in all my classes.

Hope everyone is doing well in Singapore... Good luck for all those irritating mid-term tests and enjoy the mid-term break! Take care=)

Hush your weeping...

My dear, hush your weeping,
It is not the End,
At least, not yet.

They were there with you before,
They'll come again, soon.
Weep not, my dear, weep not,
For soon their fondness will find
Their way to you again,
When you need most their adoration and comfort.

So, my dear, hush your weeping,
It is not the End,
At least, not yet.

Ten Years Down

Ten years down
When you and I have grown older,
We may meet again, to say hi,
For tea, and a little nostalgia.
But will all these really be
When each has gone deep into the chosen path?

Whence we meet
Shall be a time for rejoicing;
Past enmity forgotten,
Friendships reawakened,
But that shall be ten years down.

No one knows what happens in ten years,
Consider it karma, or anything else similar,
I may be long gone from the world, so can someone else;
So let's treasure our old classmates
Before they are all gone.
