Recently in University life Category
This photo was taken at 10.30 am. Then it got darker and darker but I was already in class for my second period which was from 10.30am. At around 11am, people were screaming outside and I already knew that the eclipse was clearly visible. But my lecturer didn't care....
All of us could only look outside... the dark gloomy outside... instead of paying attention in class
And when class was over at 12, my lecturer , "oh yea! solar eclipse... Is it over?"
2 success stories for today - July 16th 2009.
1. I swam for 50m non stop, freestyle. New record.
2. My tutor happily told me that one master student (who was there during my presentation) told her (my tutor) that I did a good job for my lab presentation.
The end ...
I've just returned from the education fair at Osaka and brought home plenty of university prospectuses.
Time is drawing closer... It's not gonna be easy. I'll be competing with the bird brained Mainlanders and Vietnamese for a scholarship, and then competing with the Japanese students for a place in Graduate School.
but first... my thesis... even before that... my exams!!
Not easy.. but till today, determination has never stopped me from getting what I want. Don't wish me luck. Please pray for me instead. haha....
Anyway, some photos from my trip to and from Osaka.... no photos of my friends from Pre-U cos i didn't use my camera for that...

Diagnosed with Leukemia 14 months ago, he left this morning. I just came home from his funeral preparation with 2 of my other friends. Not attending his funeral tomorrow because it will be held in Hiroshima.
Seriously regret for not giving some words of support by replying his sms which he sent to me 2 mths ago.
Life ...
BANKCRUPT!
And this is how I spent my first month's scholarship stipend...
1. Ferry ticket to Osaka to attend the education fair.
2. A multi purpose machine. I don't know how to translate ... I just call it multi task machine.

Something is wrong with me for weeks. Fatigue or stress; or both ... or am i just using them as excuses for not working harder? Or is it because I'm purely lazing around?
On Wednesday, I dreamt that I woke up at 11 and I didn't bother going for classes so I slept again, in the end I really woke up ..... at 8am. Today I woke up at 10.40am... missing my class for the first time this year! And thought it was Saturday. Shall I just point my finger at the cold weather? (Rainy season so its cold again)
Something is wrong...
Job hunting or Graduate School?? What if they both demanded for me? heck..Am I that demanding?? Looking up too high on myself.. but isn't it a good thing to boost my motivation?? ...
I don't wanna work!! I wanna study! ... but .. What if my ideal job comes looking for me?? .... What if I pass TokyoU(Todai)? I know I don't have that kind of quality to do so... but what if I did? 2 of my friends told me it is possible... But I don't have a scholarship... ... sh-t .. I can't be selfish... Fama has to stop paying after I graduate! ... but .. work .... See, I'm just being immature cos I don't wanna face the society and enter the working world. What a spoilt failure... but ...but .... studies.. Why do I get paid to work and not study? I am still contributing in a way! .. I don't get paid if people actually get reference from my thesis in future... if they do pay.. it'll be too late. heck... will my thesis be that good in the first place?!!
I'm working for it ... ... I have what I think are good ideas for my research ... darnn, it hasn't even begun yet! not in half a year! but I think I'm laid back too... What am I talking about??
I know I'll go crazy and die of stress if I get into Todai ... TUAT applications in Aug next year ChibaU is in Feb... A good uni by standards, or a conveniently located campus of a decent uni?
eh? I don't know what I'm talking about ...
I need to swim .... get me a pool.. I will beat the pool water crazy...
Note : I will be okay. Don't come and console me 3 days after this entry is posted cos it will just provoke me again....
and I pray for a miracle for the missing passengers of Air France 447. I hope their yellow boats get drifted by the current to a Brazilian island.
The nightmare has begun ... Internship ... It started off with first briefings this afternoon.
Seriously ... I don't see the need of those 4 celebrities being featured in these documents.

14th : An announcement was made in their webpage. They have decided who are the recipients.
The news will reach me either tonight, tomorrow or next week.
I foresee sleepless nights ...
18th : Yesterday night I dreamt 3 times in my sleep. The first two was about me getting the good news. The last one was opposite. Then the reality came... I am one of the 70+ out of 90+ hopeful applicants who failed ...
I'm going off to apply for another one tomorrow cos apparently I was shortlisted by the uni again. The stipend is half of the first one, but it is of course better than nothing.
I lost the ability to write now cos I've been crossing my fingers for too long ..hehe
It was a close to death experience. Every moment I thought I will die because of it.
I was sick for exactly one week.
