so happy to be back in cjc with bobo, julia, yy and jerm plus jody today. We'd such a great time eating noodle king, drinking milo/teh peng/ribeena, talking to teachers and bro paul. talked to mr lim about island peak/nepal/rolwaling/his younger days, taiwan odac trip, indo volcano xp, Mainly i love odac, one-toone noodle etc etc. i'm so jealous of the guys who bought the cj alumni shirt:(
the best was playing soccer, frisbees, running the generator route, playing catching, learning cartwheel and handstand:) haha!
We then realised that it's already 11/12th batch!! we're seriously old birdies alr, we're like what 2nd batch is to them now. omg. time really flies and we're all growing old and graduating and becoming true-blue adults with lots to worry. oh man. scary reality check there!
the juniors are having tests and lessons. (so boring!) actually glad that they're, at least we got to play game ourselves:)
then in the evening, i went to jeanie's place to cook dinner with yy and agnes. then they came to play wii. had lots of fun and laughter, getting together too! :)
i feel so blessed with friends who i think will last to life. Even if it's not that long, but i know 10year down the road, we'll still be there for one another. For the ppt i've to take for PE, i've so many friends to turn to for help and they're so willing too;) so glad that i've friend like them.
thank god for giving such a blessed life and the friends ard me:)

exams ended.
this sem has been really fun, interesting and fulfilling. I felt that i've made full use of it, and lived every minute of it. I've been a relatively consistent student, finished studying all topic before exams, did adequate research for my papers and questioned enough;) I've a tinge of regret that i can't continue on with year 4 honour for further studies in to my area of interest. But, i still need to do the research, which not really interested and i can always read up more with my foundations.
the modules i took this semester really poke me and made my question and rethink about alot of things.
1) comparative animal physiology
Prof ip is the teacher i wish i can become. He inspire and spark the interest in learning biology in people, inspire people to learn not jus for exams and it is amazing to jus read up about certain topic jus for our knowledge in life.
curiosity
scientist have to ask good questions, not jus memorising and accepting theories. Theories are not always right, they're jus waiting to be proven wrong.
learning have to fun and with a purpose
linking the big picture
Besides interest, there have to be value to sustain the drive and determination in research
enjoy life, live life to the fullest, eat all u can, go travel and visit the kitchen:)
2) global change bio
conservation has alot of talk going on. What people know and think about conservation is jus 'protecting animal and plants' and that was what i think it was. The module gave me an insight and intro into what real ground conservation is about. it's about warring with the government, the people about ideology, trying to convince then it's time to believe the facts etc. it's more than just setting up national park and so-called protected areas to conserve animals/plants. the real change will come with awareness and education i believe.
3) ecology
4) cardio
