Thursday...

i'm feeling dead beat now... it's been a reali long time since i last woke up at 7.15 in the morning....hahaz...well, todae is the first time since exam period dat i'm up so earli? hahaz, i had promised Elysia's group to go down todae to support them for their final presentation oredi....and so i dragged myself out of bed and made a trip down to NUS... couldn't reali sleep last nite cos it was much earlier den my usual bedtime.... and went to play pool in the aftn with Junming and den we had a good workout at the gym again....dat's y i'm feeling pretty tired now...

Aniwaiz....i felt a similar rush of adrenaline when i was watching other ppls' presentations todae....the things which i've alwaiz been emphasizing to frens who r taking tis project module in the special sem..... thgs like the motivation, the enthusiasm, the teamwork, the team dynamics, the chance to make better frens, the chance to feel like an engineer, etc etc.....all came back to my mind again instantly.... with my StarTeam bros in mind of course....

junhui and i went to the comp lab to watch the video of our presentation which had juz been uploaded by the lab technician....and high time he did, cos it has been more den 2mths.... but well, reali, all the fond memories, all the memories of the sweat dripped during the course of the entire semester, all the memories of us celebrating in joy when something works out fine, all the memories of us sulking when sth didn't work, all the memories of us staying up till the wee hours of the nite together....staying united to overcome seemingly insurmountable difficulties....including racing against time and competing against seniors...

The Girl on the right....nicknamed Princess by us...hahaz...EE3, she's reali gorgeous lor....our motivation in the lab on mondays...hahaz... =p

I kept emphasizing the above factors which i felt were the real lessons i learnt in this project module because i am very proud of our StarTeam.... and it's not the grade dat counts....although we did reali well, A-, and beat most of our seniors....honestly, i didn't reali give so much thot to the grade.... From tis project, i learnt so much abt the above factors....i felt even more confident.....i got to work so closely with my bros dat i can say dat we kinda went thru thick and thin together..... it's such a wonderful feeling....and even if we had obtained a less illustrious grade, my feelings towards tis project would nonetheless remain the same....

and so i felt happy for Elysia's group too....comprising Tingting, Jingyu and Jonas..... hahaz, and so i went for their mini-celebration together....at Genki Sushi at YIH....although i did not reali noe the latter 2 dat well, by the time the lunch ended, i was conversing with them like we hav been frens for awhile oredi...Jonas even got my hp number...hahaz, he said he'll jio me out for badminton before i leave...

I got Tingting's hp number too.....hahaz, cos i thot if nxt time i wanna ask her out tog with the rest of our clique....i wun hav to ask other ppl to do so.... first time we spoke so much....hahaz....

it's especially gratifying todae cos i not onli shared their joy dat the proj is finally over, but i oso made new frens in Jonas and Jingyu....hahaz....it's reali nice to make new frens.... again, i reiterate dat although it's sometimes tiring to make new frens initially, befriending new ppl shldn't be sth dat is to be avoided....dat's the thing i love abt making new frens....dat is....feeling the exuberance of having many nice and 'strong' ppl arnd me.... i wonder if i had mentioned tis before.....

An intelligent individual is after all, still an individual....and his or her prowess is still limited.... A team of intelligent individuals....greatly amplifies the prowess within.... and which is why i feel even more confident with so many competent ppl, so many intelligent ppl....so many professionals and leaders of tomorrow....all arnd me and are my frens.... everyone can tap into each other's expertise....and even though i've alwaiz been confident in myself, tis level of overall confidence is sth dat is unparalleled....

Future doctors, engineers, lawyers, scientists, computer specialists, business professionals, arts professionals.... who wouldn't feel so confident with such frens arnd one? I noe many of my close frens who will in future, form the higher echelon of the powers in MNCs or even in the government.... if i go on abt each close fren, i can never finish....but i recognise talents when i see them.... well, it doesn't take a genius nor a rocket scientist to recognise them....it's too obvious....

and so, i take pride in having so competent and intelligent frens like them.... =) dat said, of course i don judge ppl and decide whether to befriend them or not.....like i had mentioned before, Do unto others what others do unto you..... tis maxim....along with my personal principles....are wat i abide by in my life.... I try my best to treat all my frens with the highest level of respect and sincerity which they deserve....and of cos, dat means dat i make frens with those whom i can feel the sincerity too.....regardless of race, religion, education, background....etc.....


okie...before i feel dat i'm reciting the singapore pledge......hahaz, i tink tis post shld hav long expired..... till tmr....
