living in my own sanctuary.

After quite sometime, i finally realised and started to face the fact that i have graduated from poly. 3 years of poly education juz ended like that hur.

Choice of poly was NP, business studies. To start with, this wasnt my ideal course of study since i preferred analysing cells and organisms. However, listened to my dad to enter Business studies in np. During my 1st year he already told me that he wanted me to specialise in entrepreneurship and went round telling people that i m majoring in entrepreneurship already. geez, one way or another, i guess i still will thank him, i dunnoe, maybe he meant well for me.......

1st year of poly, i was like regretting, "hey poly isn't for me, i shld have chosen jc instead!" I want teachers to spoonfeed more, i love TYS you see. And then i got into Class of tb21. Wellz, i muz say, nice bunch of peeps there. Saw through the weirdest things and experiences and was traumatised then. Sec sch u dun experience this?!! yea.. that was my thinking then. To think i dun hate any people in sec sch, coming to poly, u meet lots of interesting peeps that are too unique or weird for u to handle. Hahaaz.. i include myself as eccentric too, no worries.
Not forgetting, this is the period when you serious start to do lots of projects compared to sec sch days. U'll get freaked out! of course, realising that there are people that u can rely on and understand the term "free-riding". A year that I feel damn kiasu that i muz attend every lecture, do every tutorial, after class i needa rush home to read thru my notes. start on my tutorial. research on projects. finish deadlines asap. ahhhhh that lifestyle is WAY TOO DISGUSTING for me now. Oh wellz, as the year passes... one gets more slack, all such routines slowly fades away.

2nd year, still same old tb21. More or less found the appropriate project mates to do with, also get to know ya frens even betta. A hectic year in terms of exams. The year i skipped the most lectures and just sleep at home or juz chill at some cafe with classmates. The most scary module i had ever done in poly had to go to 2nd year... International Economics and Finance. Killer! but in terms of results, both semesters for 2nd year was my highest throughout poly... maybe it was the stress level that pushed one even further and not forgetting that u have found the right project groups to work with. Conclusion for 2nd year: Attending lectures dun ensure u good results.

3rd Year poly... ahhh SPECIALISATION. Entrepreneurship & Marketing. Thankfully had this dual specialisation thingy so that i wont specialise entrepreneurship purely. But hey... after going thru marketing specialisation, the modules weren't all that fun!
Went to a new class environment TB33. Fun class . Fun peeps . =) . I shant elaborate on the China trip, tink i had said enuff by posting the countless photos i took. Semester on Entrepreneurship... well, i love this initial slacking semester but super hectic killer at the end with integrated projects&presentations and cramped exam timetable. First time in my poly history that slept 4 or 5 hrs for 2 days during integrated project submission, i select chapters to study, and day before of the exams then i started to study--> Business Opportunities and Franchising..

Then 2nd semester Marketing specialisation, class of tb11. Lots of projects. a lot. a lot. a lot.
Geez, final year was the year when my drive for studying and doing projects wasnt at its peak like year 1 or 2... mood was like arrrr juz get over and done with poly u noe. But of course, needa thank my groupmates hu did so much for every project. =/ guess i wasnt acting like my usual self in projects and studies for this particular semester... i seriously dunnoe y. Particularly late during this semester and fickle-minded, AH!!!! i apologise. BUT I M A CHANGED MAN (eversince my japan trip of being more independent) Anywayz, final year is an unforgettable year!

During this 3 year course of study... experienced and seen the many faces of people. Have definately found true friends willing to be there for each other, friends who will make u feel happy, friends that you can share or bitch anything with, friends that u can hang out with. Not forgetting mere acquaintances... people that u only say hi in school and forget them as soon as u graduate. Lastly, the fact that talk big no action people exist, plastics do exist, bitches who act nice infront of ya but backstab u in the back. OUCH! yea.. also giving people the impression that he/she did everything in projects but they contributed shit/nothing. Nonsensical creatures that give crap. Disgusting creatures sucking up to friends or lecturers. Also people hu r juz petty that over differences of opinions cost ya frendship. Furthermore, devils acting as the mastermind for every evil plot to pounce on somebody but hands on the dagger to another innocent party to execute their filthy plans. OH... making that devil looking innocent and pure... puh-leaseeeeeeee! spare me from this so like soap opera setting!

Seriously, i will like to say i love poly life. The exposure is fantastic, the freedom they give u is considerably fair and independent. Throughout my studies from pri till poly... poly life indeed is fun and unforgettable. I'll never forgive time for passing this fast.....
