Thoughts on Y2S2
Gone in a blink of an eye. Things began to take flight, and it was my best semester thus far. I hope my lucky stars will continue to shine for me. I am really grateful for everything.
(Ripped from Tumblr)
Thank you for being my constants in life.
To Amanda, Huiqi, Vivian and JJ. Even though we do not take any/many modules together / different schools totally, thank you all for staying by and giving me moral and emotional support. Throughout the entire semester, I was bombarded with overwhelming workload, annoying projects and inefficient groupmates. On top of that, chasing after deadlines and dealing with high expectations of myself. I was constantly worrying about anything and everything. Thanks for lending me a listening ear and having to put up with my rants.
To Dewei, Chermin, Jamie and Licheng. The only thing that I do not regret taking NM2212 is meeting you guys. Thanks for making the unbearable module bearable. I guess ranting about McGee together brings everyone close. :D But nahs, I'm never taking his module again. Once bitten, twice shy. LOL! Thanks for treating me like the little sister you never had, for pampering me and giving me life advice. Even though you guys always bully me, but thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn to be strong. HAHAHAHA.
To my NM3215 project mates - Sarah, Elodie, Jakob and Chiuyi. I guess we all had a rough start (and rough end) LOL. But I guess despite all the mishaps faced, everything turned out to be fine in the end. I had heard a lot of horror stories about exchange students, but thankfully my groupmates were not like that. Thanks for being enthusiastic for our project work!
To myself. Congratulations on surviving this horrible semester. A terrible decision to overload again, but I guess I find joy in torturing myself. LOL. Glad to find back my inner extroverted self bit by bit - I guess I have been too suppressed over the past semesters because I have no friends to go crazy with. Hahaha! But yeahs, I believe my future will be even brighter than before!
It was a journey of self-discovery as well.
I decided to take a leap of faith and take a design module this semester and found the other side of me: I actually love designing! Maybe not design-design, but more of creating collaterals and coding for webpages. Hehes, it was tedious because I'm a beginner (noob), but it was fun so I enjoyed the process very much! Wouldn't mind doing all over again so long I get my hands on the softwares. Hahaha! (:
Grades weren't everything, but I'm glad that my hard work paid off.
I did better for this semester than expected, so I guess that was something for me to be proud of. But then again, it is not an excuse for me to slack. I need to continue working hard to even out the bad grades that I have gotten over the past few semesters. Hmm... Lesson learnt after four semesters in school: take modules that you enjoy rather than taking them because your friends are taking them or because you think that the modules are very beneficial! Oh and another thing, I am so glad that I finally broke the curse of getting super ridiculous grades for Psychology. LOL! Just as I was playing with the thought of giving up my minor, I guess I should continue to trust myself.
But of course, your teachers/professors play an important role as well.
For this semester, I am super glad to meet nice teachers along the way. Special thanks to Mr Aaron Ng, he is very detailed in his teaching and ever so willing to help. There was once I screwed up my coding for my website assignment, and he sat with me to go through it during the entire tutorial session. Thanks for fuelling my passion and interest in designing. (:
I'm grateful to Mr Kelvin Yeo as well. He really went out to the extra mile to help us in our project. With a vast experience working in the different fields, he is really knowledgeable. He gives us many tips and draws a lot on his personal experiences when he lectures, so I really gained and learnt a lot from taking his module. He is easy to talk to as well, which is no wonder why we don't feel ashamed for annoying him with many queries regarding our project. Thanks for being such a gem!
With vision, stardust and heartstrings,
bridge the gap between
dreams and reality.
