BACK TO SCHOOL... ...


There's so much stuffs to settle & do before school reopens in August! So it's very troublesome!!! Medical Checkup, Payment, Camps to attend & so on... ...

But I'm all ready for school! With the back to school mood NOW!!! Missed school so much!!! When I actually think back, I've always wanted to take the shortest route in Education. Wanting to complete Primary school in 6 years, Secondary School in 4 years, Junior College in 2 years & University in 4 years, so that my years in Education will be merely 16 years! Now to think of it, another 4 years and I will complete my Education, I think I'll definitely miss school!!! *Sigh* School life is so much better than working life, that's what I learnt in my 6 months working life. I used to think that working and studying don't really make much different. At least there's no homework for temporary staff like me!!! Yes!!! This is the only "happy" part about my work right now.

Actually right now, I think I'm a kid that's been exploited. I'm doing cheap labour right now. Perhaps many will think that the job I'm offered with has a slightly better rate, which is very true. But what my friends & I are doing are somewhat the contract and permanent staffs are doing, but our pay is only half of what they are earning. Take YW for example, she's covering what a permanent staff is doing, having the same stress level as her other colleagues, not allowed to do OT (which increases her pay by 1.5 times per hour after the usual office hour) & the worst, cannot take leaves as she like. No Medical leaves & No Staff benefits. It's so bad!!! *Sigh again*


Yesterday I went to NUS for my medical checkup, the Urine test, Body checkup, Eye Check, Height & Weight measurements and X-ray! It feels quite weird because it was my first time going for medical checkup. In addition, I had to wake up at 6.45am so that I can reach NUS by 8.30am. But of course, I was late. It was the office hour, everyone was rushing to work. The LRT was full, the NEL was packed with people, the East-West Line too, not to forget the bus to NUS!!! I actually stood for 1 hour 20 minutes from the very moment I left my house. *Tired* So when I reached the Medical Centre I was tired and confused. I had to find my way around at Yusof Ishak House. Lucky got Von & Lynnette with me! So it wasn't that boring at the Medical Centre. After the X-ray, Nette & I were told that we can go off. When we stepped out of the X-ray centre on the 5th level, we met Guideng again. Our 1 year Senior, I think. So we went to meet the rest & paid for the camp. Found my seniors really interesting, as in they ask weird questions, like "Do you want to leave ur email with us?" So I actually asked if they want our email instead. Since they are organising our camp, if he finds that there is a need to leave our email, we odd to cooperate with him. So we left our emails, and went walking around the Arts & Social Science, Central Library etc. After that, Dad came to pick us up.

We went to the DBS at AMK to settle my Tuition Fee Loan. The interest rate right now is 4.75%. There maybe some adjustments after 4 years. But then it's alright, at least I had settle my Tuition Fees. All I have to do now is go for the 'Funtasea' camp & enjoy, wait for school reopen & pay my balanced Tuition Fees. I think I'm 70% ready for school! What else do I need to do before school reopen?? Hmmm... I think I need to do something about my hair, so that it looks neat when school reopens. I also need to go to the ticket office to make my tertiary EZlink... Hunt for a Laptop... & I think I'm ready for school!!!

Looking forward to the camp from 17 - 20 July at Sentosa! It's all fun under the SUN!! I can do some exercise running around, enjoy my days & hang around with my course mates!!! It's FUN, FUN & MORE FUN!!!



School days will be so much more fun! I'm going to concentrate in my studies, my extra curriculum activities, my lively & yauqwee friends, my family & nothing more. It's best to concentrate in just one or two things at a time.

There's so much uncertainties ahead. I can only see what is happening 4 years down the road. But the future, it can't be seen. It's just too much uncertainties and insecurity. But I believe I can walk into the future alone, if not, with my family.

University life is going to be a fresh start for me after I've let go of what I've been holding on to for the past 5 years. I'm so so so tired with the previous way of leading my life. I'm going to enjoy my current lifestyle for some time. The lifestyle where I don't need to take someone into consideration when I'm making a major decision in my life, or to rearrangement my timetable & reduce my resting time just to make time for someone.
