seems like i missed out a lot during the NUS IRC elections. i didn't know that it was all-so-happening. wayne sms-ed me that night saying the elections are being held that time (read: come!), but now i forgot why i didn't show up. maybe i had something on or what. so anyway, congratulations to ivy, wayne, and michael for your new heavygatz posts. please include me if you need helpers or whatever for your projects, so i can have CCA points. hehe=)
yesterday i went to this seminar for CVE year 2 students. it's like a briefing of sorts as to guide us which modules to take, which direction to take. it was entertaining, kudos to our amusing professors; and of course, helpful for us. there was this instance when names of students in our batch on scholarships were flashed on the big white screen. at first i didn't really bother about the powerpoint slide, until sundeep told me my name was on the list! i found the heading Singapore Scholarship, and true enough, my name was under it, as well as Rotana's. then the professor speaking in front told the students with their names flashed on the screen to stand up. so we did, and for the first time in my life i was applauded by my classmates and professors. ok, one of the many being applauded. i was what, happy, because i never expected this to happen, even if it's just a small thing. i used to believe that i'd be forever astoundingly mediocre and not worth being applauded to by NUS people.
then the next slide showed the names of those who made it to the dean's list. among the 100+ in our batch (yes, relatively smaller compared to other engineering departments), only 3 made it to the dean's list last sem. and 2 of them are my friends! rotana, siaw ling, and this other guy.
siaw ling and rotana totally deserve to be in the dean's list. if i were to describe siaw ling in two words, it'd be HERMIONE GRANGER. yes, the girl in the harry potter series who thinks expulsion from hogwarts is worse than death itself. siaw ling studies like there's no tomorrow, eats and breathes all the formulas dumped to our faces during lectures. i don't think she knows that grades other than the first letter of the alphabet exist. even when the lecture's already over, she and rotana would still be glued to their seats to discuss the minutest of details regarding the lecture.
rotana, whom i've already known since our bridging year, is extremely smart and extremely hardworking to boot. these two traits compounded is a surefire means to land a spot on the dean's list. for every vacant time we have, we finish his sentence for him when he says "hey, i'm going to the.." with the word "library".
naturally, edina, sundeep, and i are proud of our friends siaw ling and rotana. hey, maybe the two of them would end up together eventually, that'd be great. improvement of the human race as they will propagate kids with super charged brain cells. =p. but yep, the three of us should learn a thing or two from them when it comes to studies.
