Mattness

Blogger's note: Pardon the pun. Madness Mattness. : )

Sorry for the lack of update. The whole of last week has been pretty heavy for me. I am so glad that the T-shirt selling is over, and now I can move on to the other projects, namely, DCHE Sports Challenge, Foveo III, DCHE Website, DCHE Got Talents!....and others. The list could go on forever, I swear.

So far, my balancing act between Student Chapter and studies has work out well. Apart from the frequent random outburst of madness I had during the classes ( ask Joevin, Yadana and Shaheerah ), I think I did bloody well. So, I decided to add some excitement to my somewhat crazy life.

I went for the ISC interview. It was totally not a spur of the moment thing. 

Obviously, I didn't go there alone, I dragged along Marchia and Yadana with me. We reached there at arnd 5pm+ and we waited till 10pm for our interview. Yup, 10 pm. We had lots of fun thou while waiting. We drank the wine that was intended for our experiment, we gossiped, we laughed, and suddenly, we are outside the interview room already.

Honestly, I wasn't as nervous I thought I would be. Probably due the the fact that I laughed so much and I was already bloody tired after a straight 8am-6pm classes with only 1 hour pathetic lunch break in between. So, I went in there, sat down in front of 22 seniors. 

And they started shooting questions at me. 

Like a bazooka.

I must admit, they throw pretty darn good questions at me. To an extent that I felt my mind was very contradicted. Of all the questions I answered, the hardest one has got to be this, 

"Tell us a story, any story."

I eventually came out with some story, not without some struggling. 

Overall, although I managed to answer their questions, I felt like I was being a f***ed up arrogant bastard who was trying to hard to make sense though. Ha. We shall see next week when the short listed candidates list is announced.

Anyway, yesterday, Joevin, Shaheerah, Yadana and I went on a "SP Tour". We got too bored waiting for Intro to Microbiology practical and decided to went for a walk to the other side of the school. Yeah, eventually, we spent 1 hour walking up and down, in and out of the school buildings. Not too bad a way to spend time eh? 

Seriously, we were like so bloody high these few days. 

And I am so fucking annoyed when some ppl never pick up the responsibility to do their work. In the end, you ppl drag behind the entire progress and causes trouble to us! Also, to "that person", could you stop asking stupid question ? Seriously, I felt like giving you a punch in the face the other day. Sometimes I wonder if your IQ is equivalent to your shoe size. 

My life could have been much better if I can really cancel off the last paragraph off my life. ; )

Thanks for reading!

We Rock!

The reprinted DCHE Tee has arrived.....The new Tee samples look so much better.. ; )  The EXCO members aka Naziah, Ting Sin, Jufri and I went to MLT 1 to promote the T-shirt to the year 3s during their common lecture..... Ting Sin even brought a mannequin top so that we could put the T-shirt sample over it and promote to the students. The response was ok. I heard that one of the class has all of the students bought it! Hahas!

Heard from Dr.Chia (actually, Marchia heard it from him, and retold the story to us) that our class did very well for APChem! Apparently, I ALMOST got full marks! Woot! I am not gonna be modest and I am damn proud of myself, lol! 'Dah hidung tinggi!  Haha! On top of that, our class, DCHE1A03 has defeated all the other course taking this paper....Yes, all other courses including Biomedical Science peeps! Even their lecturers were surprised as well. Out of the 15/16 distinctions, 7 actually came from our class. Ah well, our class rocks on forever. ChemEng rules!

Yesterday, Yadana and I went to the "Science Pursuit" thing at T1A yesterday...  Why? Course they will be showing the CLS promo video to the audience. I mean, the CLS video featuring us for less than 15 seconds...haha! It is just a short clip to promote all the CLS courses. We were thick-skinned enough to sit on the floor in front of the whole bunch of secondary school students.....LOL. Yadana, Marchia and I were filmed the other day at W318...and we are quite anxious to see it...Anyway, this is how our "scene" looks like..

In the video, I was walking down the pilot plant at ground floor and I tell Yadana to initiate the process via talkie-talkie....on the other end, Yadana in the control room replied and proceed to start the thang using those oh-so-canggih computer. As I walk to the other side to turn the knob on the machine, Marchia on the second storey is taking down the stats...the end.. For the record, the three of us have no idea what we are doing on the pilot plant thingy...lol, don't think we will touch those stuff until I am year 3 anyway.

LOL, lame? I agree so....Haha, but then again, it was quite fun when we did the video. Anyway, as compared to all the other CLS courses, our clip seems to be the most boring. The other courses' clips are bloody colours with all those pretty chemicals...while ours are plain grey-silvery pilot plant, machines and control station.

To be honest, ChemEng was really nothing like what I imagined when I signed up for the course. Instead of Chemistry, as the title sort of "promised", we actually deal more with physics, engineering and mathematics. Of course we still take some minor modules related to Bio and Chem...But still, a bit component of our course is related to technical stuffs.....After taking the module for almost half a year now, I realize that it is not as bad/boring as it sounds...after all, physics are all bout understanding theories....there is nothing much to worry about once the concept is clear. A lot of ppl have asked me this question, and now I shall answer it....

Anyone: Are you changing course to DCP next year?

NO!

I think that is all for now. I am sleepy. nites.

Blogger's note: I am bored......yet, I have tonnes to things to do. And heck, I don't like the new facebook layout.....

I survived the first week of school.....yay me!....swt. Anyway, 9 modules in one semester isn't as hard as it seems... well, as least for the first week. I am starting to really like some of the modules already....so far, my favourite is Chem Eng Principle B......

Gosh, my lecturer actually give a length explanation and apologies for being late.....for 1 minute. ONE minute only, and he sincerely apologized to the whole class of 23 brats. Whoa...wonder what he'll do if he's late for 15 minutes.

So far, I find Eng Maths the most challenging........that bloody SPM Add.Math syllabus is so much shallow than O-level..... I was feeling lost half the lesson when the lecturer talk about things that are considered "basic" ...and yet I have never learn in my high school. Fcuk SPM. I'm need lots of work to lay some foundation for this module.

On another note, first week into the new position as assistant VP is tiring..... The amount of problems that arise in just one week is enough to kill my brain. Just received some bad news regarding the DCHE Tee.... Marina Barrage trip got canceled. Man...this is not looking good.  I am laughing in agony at the exco election/interview coming in just a few weeks....Anyway, giving up is so not my style.... : )  Gotta figure out an escape plan asap....

When all thing are not working well, you will realise that the smallest thing could really cheer you up. Here was what happened.

There was an email from DHL yesterday, saying that I have a package, which cannot be delivered due to an incomplete address.....So, I updated them with the correct address, and the package arrived at my door steps this morning.

It was a "Case Logic" laptop case sent all the way from Deutschland (Germany lah~).  o.O

The letter attached reads,

"Dear James Matthew,

...............(yadayadayada..unrelated formalities-blabbing )............

You have proven yourself as a true rubber expert and secured the 7. rank on our highscore list. We would like to say "Congratulation" and hope that you will have a lot of fun with your prize!"

First of all......James Matthew?..........It's Matthew James! Fuck it.................James' the surname, Matthew's the given name, how hard can it be?!.......Yes, Azfar, I am telling this to you too! Stop calling me James!......and yes, I laughed uncontrollably at the line "true rubber expert".

Anyway, I got this prize from a German rubber company "Lanxess" . They will be opening their plant here in Singapore in a few more years, and they were recruiting during ChemExpo......There was this nice lady who came to me and told me all this, and also asked me to go online and play the "game"

And out of boredom, I actually did. It was like a quiz, answering questions related to material science, specifically on rubber and co-polymer..fyi, it was pretty much what we have learned from Material in Practice in school :  )

Little did I know that I actually won something out of it. The laptop bag is just a normal simple bag. But then again, I won it.........woohoo! It feels good you know? I mean, I never had much luck in this kind of thing, and out of the blue, I actually won something. Yeah, you bet it feels bloody good! It definitely cheer up my day...

.....Hmmm, I am hoping I have more things to update u guys on...but nah....that's all for now.......

So, good nights!
