My poly years
So, I've just activated GPRS for my phone. Rather tedious because it's a second hand phone and needs manual activation. The bad thing about the condition of my phone is that the infra-red port is not working. Actually, I don't know whether my laptop or my phone has that problem but I won't be able to post much pictures from now on. Only "important" photos will be send to my laptop via email.
Okiez...at work today. Not so bad. But ended the day with stupid mistakes. Accidentally diluted the only sample that I have. Diluted the sample needed for CVS testing with the wrong solution. DAMN!
Well, I was sitting in my room staring into space for more than an hour. Reading and re-reading my personal diary. Memorized everything...LOL...I thought about my poly years. I remembered being the freshman there. Very anti-social. Quiet. Reserved. The first friend that I made was Xiuhui. Went home together and everything. Had weekly lunches with my secondary school peeps but we were not that close anymore. Second semester in poly, got to know Steph from PJ.
Second semester in poly, someone put me in a spot. I was shocked to the core when I found out about something. Avoided him after that and never ever talked to him.....This semester was when I received a blessing from God. My very first A in Maths. Yeah! So the first year in poly, my focus was only my studies and I competed with the people around me......My aim was to get the highest amount of A's.....
The third semester.....life went well...day in day out...study...study and more study although part of my focus was somewhere else. Managed to maintain my results.
Fourth semester, I suffered from depression for a few months. Relationship problems. Rather stupid when relationship problems come in the way of your goals. My grades drooped a little. And when I recovered from depression, I studied REAL DAMN hard and guess what...my grades were peaking. I was at my best. I did well, very well...I was so damn HAPPY! But that semester dear Steph always had her mood swings...don't really like it...
When my fourth semester ended, we went for industrial training at CPTC in Jurong Island for 6 weeks. Hated to wear the blue coveralls with our safety boots and goggles everytime we need to go out in the field. So hot! But I had an experience in climbing a distillation column as well as doing trouble-shooting. Experienced what it's like to do shift work at night. Truthfully speaking, it was rather enjoying as we kept ourselves awake by playing cards through the night! Most of the people K.O. as early as 1am. Me and Stephanie was inside the control room watching out for problems in the plant. We were still awake until 5am. I finally felt dizzy and nearly dozed off on the comfortable chair. But instead, I excused myself and slept in the toilet. Haha! I think Steph did that too...DOn't remember...
That was fun....
Fifth semester in poly. Things started to change. During the industrial training, I've decided to turn my life around. Turn it around so that I can forget my past. Steph had a new beginning, started a relationship with one of our classmates. Me? I had my own new beginning. I changed myself. Changed myself until I became very open. Did something that I've never done before. LOL....never in my life, that I would imagine it to be this way. But what I've decided to do, I'll do it. Still remembered the date I did that. 26 July during AEM lecture. LOL! After all that's happening, both of our grades drooped. Rather badly. Hehehe...we got distracted...VERY distracted. None of us ever get moody in school. She had her guy and I was...erm...trying to get mine....We were really crazy during this semester. GUYS! We talked a lot about them but sadly, when there's a beginning, there's an ending. Steph's relationship was over during the morning of our last day in school. It was on the rocks since her birthday but he ended it on the last day of school.......Me on the other hand, him and me....just going with the flow.....
About this fifth semester, we actually copied each other's work during tests. Cheated a lot but ended up with different grades. We did our final year project. Rushed everything in less than 2 months cause we started off the semester with laziness.....But alas...we got an A....
Both of us studied hard for the exams this semester but know what...both of us had C+'s for this semester and lesser A's. I nearly failed one of our modules and she nearly failed another one of our modules. But life was better during our last semester in poly. Not study...study...study...like crazy!
Well, now we are in the same company, working for our grades for our very last module, Industrial Attachment. We are planning our own future. She planned hers. I planned mine, only that I am still unsure on which path I want to take.
But I guess....no matter what....my future and my happiness lies in my own hands and Almighty-Allah.
