A long overdued update....

It has been almost a month since my last post.... I was very busy in the last few weeks.... I finally got hold of the photos from Universal Studio, but I am just too lazy to post it on my blog... I will try to put them up on fb.

So, these are the updates:
1) New semester has STARTED!!! I am officially a year 2 student... no longer a young, vibrant, enthusiastic freshman.... A year in NTU has worn me out... =(.... lol...

2) I am taking Spanish Level 2 after much consideration.... YOG reaffirmed my stand... I just love the idea of being able to speak Spanish ..... ideally can speak FLUENTLY....

3) I got the same job... luckily, this time there is a change in policy. I can work maximum 14 hours per week (4 hours more than last year)... =) ... and guess what.... I maxed out everything.... causing me to have 5 full days in a week..... morning till 7pm....

4) My fear has come back. It is Organic Chemistry II ... First week itself has already thrown me off balance.... I better start revising my first year stuff... Not to mention Inorganic Chemistry... which, according to the seniors, is like HELL.... new, abstract concepts will be introduced. As usual, first week studying it has already taken a toll on me....

5) YOG has ended.... I never regret a single moment for joining it... Made so many new friends from so many different backgrounds.... and made me want to learn Spanish more!!!! And after that French!!!! Y** E**, my unofficial French teacher, I am counting on you... Not to worry, I have 2 new neighbours. One of them is from London, and the other from Sweden. Both of them speak French.... I will try to pick up a bit from them....lol

6) I was very lucky to get a hall as there are about 60% of the Malaysian seniors that I know didn't get one.... Which leads to me running for Main Committee positions in TWO clubs.... kiasu attitude, always want something to fall back on. This is because hall residency is so competitive nowadays I had to spend every second of my free time on clubs and societies....

7) J** M*** is in NTU now!!!! Finally, we got our THIRD person from WMS who, unfortunately, got enrolled into this university.....

8) Summer Research has come to an end as well. I learned so so so much from this experience.... I am so drawn to it that I am actually thinking about giving up Minor in Mathematics to do Summer Research II..... We will see how it goes....

That's all for now.... Continue to study.... T_T ....

Hey - some of the key general chem concepts are covered in a series I wrote on my blog called "From Gen Chem to Org Chem" - you might want to check it out.
I also coach organic chem through skype video - perhaps useful if you suddenly need to ask someone about an obscure reaction mechanism sometime late at night - just thought I'd mention it...

good luck! James

Wonderful blog! I definitely love how it’s easy on my eyes and also the data are well written. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which need to do the trick! Have a nice day!
