Lessons are ultra boring as usual.Worse still, there is still a UT later on.Module selection was out last Friday and i've yet to choose yet.I was thinking of whether to take up a 4 days week or a 5days week with management information systems as the elective module.

Got a huge quarrel with someone over how lousy RP study system. I eat it and swallow any criticism that people look at me.You think i need you to tell me how lousy my school is?you think i need any of your comments?Even though, i come from a lousy school, i dont boost around telling people how smart I am. I know where is my limit and ability and i dont need anyone to tell me that RP is not recognized.

People's impression of RP:
1.It is a lousy sch and its not a recognized cert.
2.My chances of getting a job than polys like SP and NP is very low.(yes, i agree to a large extent)
However, i believe that if you are willing to put in more effort to prove yourself nothing is impossible.And RP graduates can even find jobs outside.(Dun come fucking tell me that priority are given to SP & NP graduates)I dun detest these people from SP& NP cos they are more intelligent.But the truth is,we;re all holding a diploma.
3.Misconception of people:"You waste fucking 3 yrs in RP, at the end of e day you sure u got study anything?"
I can say during my first year in RP,i totally detest the school system and the way they handle things.But after struggling for one year plus, i realised that it is whether you want to believe that RP's study system which taught you to become a independent learner.You got to find out your answer yourself. Yes, presentation can really bores you out every single day but speaking to a whole class aren't an easy task.
4."Government opened the 5th polytechnic for drop-outs and those who got very bad results"
I need to make it clear that this is a very wrong misconception. Government opened the 5th poly because more students are applying for polys and we need more space to cater the new students.Yes, i wont deny that the average cut-off to enter RP is only 26.

People only talk about the bad side of RP but have they ever read articles of RP students going overseas to further studies and get very good results?
Natural misconception of people:
"haiya..of cos la. the person is born smart"
No one is born smart in this world.

After typing a whole chuck about RP, if people want to make me fall because of the unpleasant words coming out from their mouth,i only can said "please reflect on yourself before talking about others"Cos you're not going to make me fall but in fact i'm even more determined to prove myself.

Someone said" you got nothing now.No career, not even your diploma"
I dont need you to tell me.

Emotional mood.

One more month to complete my first PP draft.

DAY 3

I stay at this hotel on e previous night and check out on the third day.Basically, the whole day were sight-seeing,visting to e silk factory and a night performance at the end of e day.

On the bus

im so tired. Slept barely 6 hrs and woke up super early to pack up and have my breakfast.

Outside e silk factory with my sis.We got nothing to buy.

The next stop was going to be hangzhou.Around 2 hrs bus ride to there.So here we were..

The first stop was learning the history of the city and many different festival that we as chinese celebrate.

We also went to wine outlet where e wine are actually made and sold there.

You look at e buckets of wine! ALOT!

A boat ride along e river! Some older china people actually stay just above e river.

The process of making silk.

The next attraction was very tiring. Got to climb up 100 steps to reach e place! But i am thankful that i manage to walk through considering e fact that i havent been exercising.

The place where e lovers meet. Liang shang bo and zhu li ye.(correct me if im wrong)haha!

The tower!Forget wad is it call.

The night performance at hangzhou!very spectacular. I saw e dance performance which i had performed during my first SYF competition in 2003.

Munching on popcorns..YUM

Then, it was back to hotel after a tiring day.The hotel we stayed during e night.

SMILE. =)

3:54 PM

Yes,i am home on a sat afternoon.
Simply e reason was i was told not to work.
Not a good thing actually.
I dont want to make any further conclusion but i got to make my own plans.
Since i didnt make a good impression there,no point trying hard to salvage the whole problem.
Cause people will still look at me with e thought that their assumption was correct.
I'll leave for good.

A mixture of feelings building inside me.
I dont know how long will it last but I hope everything I do, people will understand me one day.
I know sometimes keeping quiet will not solve the whole situation.
Give me time.
I choose to keep quiet not because i dont bother,dont fight for my rights,explaining my logic and reasoning to let people know.
Cause no matter how many times i explained, they will still think they're right.
I cant please both parties so i can only choose to keep quiet and do my best,hopefully one day someone will understand.

First week of school was alright. All my UTs grades are horrible.A predicted module grade of C+ for each module overall.My dad is going to scream his lungs out at me if im going to get 2. something GPA again.
Getting a 3.0 seem so difficult.Provided i can score really well for my UTs.
BIG SIGH.
I wanna go SIM to further my studies.
I dont have any CCA in sch to back up my overall performance in sch.
So i can only use my grades to apply for SIM.

Sometimes i wish to do the things i want but....
sigh.
