April; April has arrived!!



April is a busy mth. There's cell bio
presentation and exam,
the much dreaded yearly presentation and
my boat theory


I havent got much to show
for my yearly presentation so
I donno whether I will be grilled, but
I don really quite care cuz
this presentation is
a distraction & I'm happy to see it through


I'm firmly believe tt things will tidy
up soon, at the moment, it's just
not happening but I have
enough bad patch so
good times should come & I'm gearing for it


The best thing about April is tt
I'm finally finishing my CELL BIO MOD,
I have been skipping lessons like
nobody business ...


i'm not a problematic student but I'm just
nt the type tt will
sit down n listen to a lecture


I like to conceptualise things myself...
attending lecture sucks my
energy away


after lecture, I just feel real tired
even if it's just 2 hrs of lessons ...



So I'm glad, it's a FULLSTOP for cell bio.
I'm so motivated tt I might
aim for an A in the module. The worst
thing is to repeat sth u dread, so I won'
let tt happen ...


As usual, I have formed a "partnership" with
a friend to make revision more efficient.
She will supply the test papers
while I will just do the spotting ... April 23,
the last day I will study CELL BIO for
my whole life ... goodbye CELL BIO!!! Farewell!!


Postgrad life hasn't been easy ... a lot
of expectations & v long hours ...
sometimes I'm just fed up
with all the experimental designs
& the failures that come with it


I guess all the long hours have affected my
health, I'm sick two to three times this
year ...


But I will stick with it; I chose research
not because I like the day to day
activities of the job


I like the challenges because nothing beats
the feeling of solving a "stimulating
puzzle". I also feel I can contribute.


One day when I feel I have contributed
enough I will move on
& do something which will
excite me, everyday, the moment I
wake up


I donno whether such a job exists. I'm
too optimistic to be persuaded otherwise. There
are two fields which I'm interested in, one
is the building industry, the other as
a market analyst


I have been more keen about the market
economy ever since late last year.
I bought my first stock early this year
& I will continue to buy in some
stocks in April


I'm not investing all the money I have
so it's OK if my stocks don't do tt well ...
in the long run, I think I will
learn enough for my investments
to be profitable ...

I failed my driving test on Mar 26, so
I will retake again on June 5


Tt's another $500 ... failing the
test is one thing, the financial
implication is the REAL thing


I din make serious mistakes
but I'm just not good enough on that day.
I was a tad nervous in the circuit &
thus I forgot a few
fundamentals


So, it's another FAILED test after my
boat theory (how can I fail
my boat theory, just don't believe it)


I have strategised & I will
try to pass my driving on June 5 ...
FULL STOP!!!


________________


After April, all the things that make
me frown will be erased ...
I think everyone will be HAPPY
thinking about it


In May, I will work very hard on my research.
In June, I will be off to Japan.
Phoenix might be back in July, so
I will spend some time with her
if she's back.


It's a busy year I just need to find
more time for leisure. I badly
want to blade & enjoy the
outdoors!
