Went back to Bedok View Secondary to visit the teachers and wish them. Managed to catch all the teachers I wanna see. phew! Didn't managed to catch them last year, so this year's the 'make-up'. Best part of the trip back - caught up with friends!! We really should get together soon! Went for e-trial FTT today. ha. guess what. failed all the 4 papers I tried. Thank God it's only the trial. Gotta study more the the real one next week.
Oh! I got the nice instructor today again! Raymond! He calls me rilina or something like that. Can't catch my name. Oh wells, he's not the only one. It's better then some others who calls me melissa. Really enjoy his lessons. He adopts different teaching methods to make sure I understand. What's best is he encourages me! He would say "well done", "good turn", "doing good". Phrases like these. The other instructor would put me down. He would say "why like that?". Btw, Raymond's a christian too! Maybe that explains why I prefer him. Can 'connect' with him arh. Got common topic. Like today, he asked me if I know this person from chruch and like how I accepted Christ.
Comex was next. I finally got my m2 card for my hp. 2GB, $53. I thought it was a good buy. Bought a 2GB SD card for the camera too. Main reason for this is 'cos of the Nepal trip. Not forgetting, my new mp3. It's a Sony. haha.. It plays mp3, vidoes or movies and can view photos. It's only 86g and barely 1/2 inch thick.
Wanted to get an iPod but then too many people has it already. Then went to see creative. The deal was quite good but the player is like wah... PSP? and much heavier then PSP. So... I got this. Happy with my purchase. Just that the storage space is a little too small. But that's not a problem. :)

Semester exams are finally over. But I've loads to worry about. Results!!
Today's paper - medical electronics totally sucked. The worst paper ever. Couldn't do the section B questions. There were like 4 of them, 20 marks each. So like, it's a whole 80 marks in that section and I can count the number of marks I can get. Like cos it's sooo little marks.
Just pray that I will get a D. Just pass and I'll be glad and thankful. The D grade applies to all subjects.
That's my sem. exams for you.
Well, on the other hand, evan sm, camel and myself went on a 'post-exam destress'. We went to watch a movie, then shopped. wa... tell you arh, the 3 girls are like super shoppers lah. Can buy and buy and spent so much. SM held the record, folllowed by camel, evan then myself.

I'm in deep shit.
The paper today sucked. AGAIN.
Today's paper was so bad that this morning, a few of my friends regretted not taking MC from doctor just so they have more time to study.
p.s. when you take MC for exam, if the doctor states "the patient is unfit to sit for test/exam", you will be able to take the supp paper and that paper will be graded.
But then again, if they had taken MC, then it would be cheating. Oh wells... All desperate people resorts to underhand methods at times.
I don't know what going on with me, but I'm just not focused. So distracted. Especially for this semester. Which explains my take on the exams. argh... I don't wanna receive my results already lah.
Please pray for me people. I don't wanna take any supp paper nor retake the whole module next year!! Please pray that my paper will find favour in the eyes of the marker, that he will mark linearly. Please also pray that my total raw score (overall percentage) for each subject meets the required mark so that I will not havta take any supp papers or retake any subject. Please please please pray for me. Getting really desperate already.
On a brighter note, tomorrow is Thursday, which means I'll be FREE once the examiner says "pens down, stop writing".
Can't wait till tomorrow, can't wait for everything to be over.
But then, the wait, the horror wait is killer.
melnana is in a depressed state.

Let go?
Yes, let go.
Let go of my exams.
I screwed my exams this time round.
Gonna do so very badly.
I'm letting go and letting God.
I'm leaving everything else in His hands.
Can't wait till Thurday, when everything's over!

Facing The Giants
by Adriel Loh
~1 Samuel 17 (Story of David & Goliath)~
2 kinds of people - winners & watchers. Which one is you?
Principle 1 - Do not let others put you down.
David did not let saul or the rest belittle him.
> Do not be afraid to fight, stand up to your values or for yourself.
> Stop listening to people who put you down. Selective listening.
> Don't let anyone put you in a box, restricting your potential.
>> David's giant was goliath. What/how's your giant? Exams? Test? Projects? Work?
Principle 2 - Perfect your strategy.
(a) Identify your giant.
(b) Choose & Identify your strategy to take on this giant.
(c) Know exactly what you are doing, know exactly what you wanna do.
(d) Refine your strategy.
(e) Master your strategy.
> If your giant is exams, then how are you gonna work at it to defeat it? Prepare well for it! Plan the steps you will take and master this exam tip for the actual exam.
Acknowledge your failures and work on them. Do not let this little failures bring you down. Because each failure is a step to success.
Thomas Edison once said: I tried 999 times only to find success.
He did not say: I failed 999 times.
> Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
Principle 3 - Know how BIG our God is!
> Stop talking to God how big your problem is. Start talking about how big God is.
> So build up your faith. Trust in our God, who is the biggest giant.
Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I WILL answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not yet know.
Nothing else matters cos' we have a God who conquered death! What's all these exams, tests, work load to him? If your faith is bigger than your problems, your giants can fall today!
Today's sermon. Hope it speaks to you as it did to me. XD

Attended a "Transformational Leadership" course for most of today, or rather the entire day.
Went and learnt a lot of stuff. Be it myself, people or situations. There's just soooo much knowledge to grasp.
Boss shared a story:
One day, you plant a seed in the soil and left it to grow.
You came back the next year, hoping to see that it has grown to be a fairly short tree. However, you saw nothing.
The second year, you return to the same place and still find nothing.
Third year, still not even a sprout was seen.
Forth year, yet nothing was found.
Come the fifth year, you return and what you saw next surprised you. You saw a sprout growing out from the seed you sowed 5 years ago!
6 months after that 5th year, the sprout shot up, taller and taller each time you return.
At which year do you think the seed started its growth?
Year 5?
Sorry, you're wrong.
It's year 1.
Why?
Simple.
The ROOTS of the tree started growing the day you planted the seed! Where do you think the tree would be without its roots?
"WOW", I thought.
I begin to reflect and ponder and thoughts began to fill up. Now, I think I have found the seed I want to plant and will be planting my seed soon, allowing the roots to grow and waiting to reap it's fruits.
Have you found your seed?

Perhaps you may find truth in this story. A little story, that teaches a lot.
A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young man. He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something.
Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!" So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THE BREAK DOWN WAS????
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer. .............. . $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap ..............$ 9,998.00
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort in your life makes all the difference.
First paper today.
Died already.
100 marks, how much can I score?
Someone please shoot me.
My self-esteem has been GREATLY demoralised.
Perhaps I don't know where to make an effort in my life.

This day marks the last day of study week. Come tomorrow, I'll be starting the sem. exams. Studied for entire day today! Can't believe I managed to pick myself to study Biophysics today.
Hopefully, I'll be able to make it to sem 2.2. Pass is all I ask for... See, One year in poly, to me, is like 2 years in primary or secondary school. We have "end-year exams" every half a year. Which means we have to buy books every half year. We get the module over and done with, trying to gain as much knowledge as possible...
okok. I'm late for my date.... with my BOOKS. What were you people thinking. Think I don't know huh...

I changed instructor today! XDD
I prefer this new one. =))
He's nicer, patient and more willing to teach. He also trust his students more and allows them to explore their boundaries.
Not that my other instructor doesn't trust me and doesn't teach me.
But... Today, I learnt a whole lot of stuff! Much more than the other lessons I had with the other instructor.
Went onto the busy road of Ubi for lessons. Drove out of the school MYSELF, made a right turn at a major traffic junction, had fun overtaking other vehicles and even parked the car! Learnt so many new things in today's lesson!
(Usually I only change gear, break and do left turns. My previous instructor would drive the car out of the school, into some less traffic place for me to practise.)
It was great fun driving today! yay!
Hope to have this instructor again! Raymond Cheong is his name.
Oh yes! Not forgetting he's more personal than the other instuctor. The first thing he did when he took my record book was look for my name, ask me if he pronounced it correctly and called me by my name. It shows how sincere that person is when he/she calls you by your name.
The other instructor only called me "miss".
pre-test next lesson!
I MADE A BIG MISTAKE TODAY. I BOOKED LESSONS for 2 MONDAYS, 2 WEDNESDAYS & 1 FRIDAY DURING SCHOOL TERM. SHIT. HOW HOW HOW???

Some things I learn from these images:
- Appreciate what you have.
- Do not envy the things others have. But rather, give thanks for what you have.
- Remember the past but move on towards the futher.
- Make time; Time waits for no one.
- Whatever you have on your hands at that moment, do it. Don't procrasinate. It's never too early to start.
So, I did stay up last night... to watch soccer! But I did finish my Netfund revision okay. Doing math today. sianz... Half a day's gone and I'm not even half way through. Hope to finish math revision by today. 1 day 1 subject's my aim. =)

okay.
so, I'm really behind time now.
I must and want to finish revising netfund today.
I WILL NOT SLEEP UNTIL I AM FINISHED WITH NETFUND.
How could I live without You?
How would I survive
Without your love
Without your touch
You're the one that heals me
That cleanses my heart
And sets me free.
So I come right before you
With my hands lifted up
And my heart humbly bowed at the work on the cross
As you hung there and died, you were paying the price for my life
For my life...
For Your love
Is higher than the heavens
Deeper than the seas
All I want is you in my life
No one else
Can satistfy my soul
can make me feel this way
Only you Lord
Only you.

This is the most well spent saturday ever.
I repeat.
THIS IS THE MOST WELL SPENT SATURDAY EVER.
Why? Because, today, I literaly spent the whole day studying.
What then have I accomplished?
Well, I finished studying my Biophysics! That's 1 subject down, 4 more to revise. Yes, I know it's still a loooonnngggg way. But I've never studied so hard on a SATURDAY before. Gonna start on Networking Fundamentals later.
i wonder why some people are just so urgh!
they copy people and never have their own thoughts or creativity.
when you do something to them out of goodwill,
not even a thank you is said.
rather, they chill you.
i wonder why some people are just so urgh!
they remember small little things which are so extremely harmless.
when you do something because you are desperate,
they dont help you.
instead, they remember that minor thing which doesn't affect them for life!
why make your life so hard? Live and let live, live and be merry. Can't imagine if everyone is like that. Thank God ther are many more nice souls around.

Went for the e-trial final theory test (FTT) today. gee... I tried 4 papers, and i FAILED all 4! Oh wells, i didn't really study it so I guess i deserved the results I got.
Directors.
Directors think they are a big shot just because of their position.
I dont like them. They call for meeting as and when they please and calls off meetings when they can't make it. What's the point of making an appointment then?? The appointment with the director I was supposed to have some 2 weeks ago has been pushed back yet again. This is the 3rd or 4th time already. Tell me how not to be pissed?!
I'm officially on study week now. I have excatly 1 week till the main exams.

Did some random quiz the other day just for fun. Tried the 'find out if you are left - or right brain' quiz. This is the result...
You Are 65% Left Brained, 35% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.
The results are true but not true, if you understand what i mean. It's kinda true that I pay attention to details, like to read and I'm actually a quiet person. On the other hand, I don't think I'm good at persuading others but am good at listening. I love sports but it says otherwise. I don't really day dream unless I'm really tired but I'm not creative and i can't draw for nuts.
Some of the stupid things we do in school...
Anyway, Jun Hao brought a sticky 'rat' (it's a toy) to school today. Played around with it and scared the hell out of many people. haha.. Ginny threw her bag when she found out that it was in her bag! She did it 4 times! That was how scared she was. haha.. But I must say that thingy is damn disgusting lah.

Finally, my nightmare is over!
There, what I handed in. I know it looks kinda messy. But I'm glad it's over. I took 4 days to complete the entire kuku project. In the end, the curcuit is shorted! sianz... But that bacteria (Qian Xi Jun) gave me 7 marks out of 10. He dare not fail anyone after all that has happened. So the lowest was like 6?
All projects done and over with now. Now's the time to start on my revision. Time to be focus and concentrate. 2 weeks and it'll all be over. Can't wait for the holidays!

I bet everyone has a best friend of their own.
I bet each one has at least one.
Where is mine?
The newspaper featured some of the many Best Friends in Singapore on National Day. I looked through it and thoughts began to fill up, almost tearing. You see, for 18 years coming 19 years in my life now, I don't have a best friend. Of course I will tell people about my life and stuff but there is no one person that I can share about anything and everything. Sometimes I really wonder if I'm really not trustworthy or if I cannot trust anyone.
Jesus You are my best friend
You will always be
And nothing will ever change that
Thought of the day:
When we sing this song, do we really mean it? Can we really say that Jesus is our best friend? Do we tell him anything and everything?

Since I've got nothing to blog about today, I'll post on the New Zealand trip i went for in June.
All I can say about the trip was that it was good! The scenery was beautiful. God's creation. The mountains, the lakes, wow. It's a total WOW. God is great and He is the creator of ALL things. He made the earth a beautiful place, not just a planet for us to live, but also a place where we can enjoy and admire His creations. Thank you God!
Matt took loads of photos over the 8 or rather 6 days there (2 days spent on the plane). We had like 400+ photos in total. Many of the shots were rather well taken. I loved the helicopter ride up the snow mountain! Oh oh! It was a waste I didn't do bungee. My mum agreed to let me jump when we were here in Singapore. But when we got there, she changed her mind and wouldn't let me do the jump. =( argh.... I'm sadded. oh well. A 17 yr old guy did the jump and there was a long queue for the jump after he did it. That was because, when he jumped, he made no noise. He did not scream and his jump looked like it was damn easy. But he's damn brave lah.
What can I say about NZ besides the scenery? Pretty much nothing. Cos much of it was scenery. Oh yes. We had a tour leader who was sick for most of the trip. We call him Leong. My heart went out to him. Before our NZ trip, he was in Eygpt, where the temperature was sourching hot. It was 42 degree there! And when he went over to NZ, it was like the total opposite. It was about 2 degrees there! The sudden change in temperature caused him to be unwell. What's worst, he was down with food poisoning and had to be on a drip. So sad rite? The worst of the worst is, he's married for less than a year and that month, he only had contact time with his wife for less than a week! How sad can that be?! But he has really NICE handwriting! REALLY REALLY NICE!
Headaches are uninvited guests. They come at anytime they like and won't leave till they have had fun and have enjoyed their stay. =(

2 days after I started on my circuit, I'm still at it! sigh... got the soldering portion to complete and just a few more resistors, capacitors as well as wires to patch before I'm ready to hand it in. I'm super pissed with my medical electronics tutor.
He's supposed to check our circuit design and what not and whenever we go look for him, he gives excuses like "I'm very busy now. Not free to help you" and walks away. Then we find him at another time, he says he's still busy and walks away. The third time, we saw him walking pass us when we were seated at the concourse doing the project. HE SAW US BUT DIDN'T OFFER TO HELP, OR EVEN ASK US ABOUT THE BLOODY PROJECT.
So we complained to the TSO and she feedback to the subject cordinator. Emails sent to him, asking him to check on our projects and stuff but still nothing was done. Then, he told the TSO "why you all worry so much? I will give you all pass one" Btw, this freaking tutor is from CHINA. Like WTH! Of course you will pass us lah. You don't want to feel guilty what! HE'S DAMN BLOODY LAZY and HAS TOTALLY NO INTEREST IN HELPING US SCORE.

Woke up at 6am today for a run cum walk at the Singapore River! Have not gotten up so early in a looooonnnnnggggg time! But it was a great walk though. And it's for a good cause, so I've got nothing to complain.
The walk for nice. A good early morning walk. We really have God to thank. It was raining heavily until like 20 minutes before our flag off, then it stopped. Anyway, I've come to know that the Singapore River is actually a very nice place, especially since it's not a working day. It was real quiet and not a single business man or women in sight.
The waters were calm, peaceful and relaxing. I shall pop down one day or night when it is all quiet and enjoy the breeze and have a time of reflection. Think it'll be a good place to reflect about things that are happening as well as things that have happened and how I can improve.
I also observed other things about the walk. The people especially. I finally saw for myself today.
Anyway, it took me 1 hour to patch like 10 items to the veroboard. I wanted to insert the picture which I took but my lappy just won't allow my hp to be connected to it. I don't know what's wrong with it. So, no picture. I'm still working on it. Will post the final picture when I finish, erm... hopefully, I'll finish on sunday.
Oh ya! And Blessed 42nd Birthday Singapore! XD

Wednesday afternoons are supposed to be free. I end school at 1pm and I'l free for the rest of the day. But today was different. I stayed in school to design some stupid circuit.
It took me a good 3 HOURS to design the whole circuit, ON PAPER. I still havta patch this stupid components onto the veroboard. Then after that, I still havta soulder the entire circuit. It will take me some one and a half or even two days to complete the entire project.
You know what? This project's weightage is higher than my term test! Term test weightage's only 10% while this is 20%. Gee... guess I'll just havta get this done and over with.
My circuit's design:
It may look easy. But NO way was it easy and NO way was it even near easy. 3 hours you know, 3 hours! Oh yes. This paper has not been checked by my lecturer. So should the circuit be designed or patched wrongly and I'm not able to get the desired signal, may God Bless me (so that I can at least pass) and the TSO (she has to pluck the electrodes to her body to test for the signal).
Anw, all I ask for this subject is to pass. If i fail this subject, trust me, I'll go bonkers!

Excatly what is up with cancer? Someone please tell me. Why? Why is it hitting almost everyone nowadays.
Because of this deadly illness, many innocent people have passed on.
Because of this, I've scared. Scared to be striken by it.
Becuase of this, we (my friends and I) are all shaken.
Because of this, we see the ugly side of our other friends. True friends will stay and encourage while surface friends discourage.
Because of this, minor arguments happen, relationships and friendships sour.
Because of this, a friendship becomes history.
Because of this, all we have left of that person is just memories.
Because of this, a studying mentor has left.
Because of this, all the jun, joy and laughter we shared is gone.
Because of this, I lost my grandma.
Because of this, I've lost 2 friends.
How many more lives must cancer claim. No one knows.
The list goes on.
What can we do? Someone please tell me.
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the Resurrection.

Went for FOP yesterday. I felt like something was missing. Honestly, I was really looking forward to a renewing and an experiencing service. But hmm.. nothing of that sort happened. It might be the speaker, it might be the worship, it might even be myself. I really don't know. But something that I'm sure of, is that my heart is still searching. Searching very hard for something precious that is lost. And that is the fire and passion that I had for God. I really wanna renew that passion.
Oh. But I like one example which Dr Phil Pringle (a pastor from Christian City Church Australia) gave.
Imagine with me -
You are a parent and you have a little one. He/she grows up to a year old and starts to bug you with their squeeky little voice, pulling your dress or pants. You are the clever Singaporean and decide to give birth to another child.
Now, you have 2 kids and they're seated at the back seat of your car while you're driving. You decide to shut them up by droping by the Macdonalds' round the corner. You bought them a meal. The next thing you know, you find french fries on the younger one, with coke spilling from the cup. Again, you are the clever Singaporean and decides to give birth to yet another child.
This time, you have 3 children. They grow up and are seated at the back seat of the car with the youngest in the center. Once again, you drop by Macdonalds' and buy them a meal. There's silence in the car and you thought everything is going on well. But, when you looked into the rear view mirror, you see fries stuffed into the ear of your youngest child, hamburger smeared on his face, ketchup on his neck and shirt and coke dripping from the car seat.
Now, let's pause for a moment there. Let's see. The world has about 6.5 billion people.
We are all God's children, right? Yes, we are.
So let's imagine.
God is driving the car and the 6.5 billion children are seated at the back of his car, whining, pulling His pants and toying around. What does God do?
Learning points:
1) Always put yourselves in God's shoes and ask how or what He would do should something like this happen.
2) Don't complain/whine over small matters because God doesn't.
3) Treat others like how Jesus would.
4) Do to others what you want others to do to you.
