THE FAMILY
Hello! As you should already know, we are the FPS family!
Now, every family should have a family history, no? So. Our family was formed earlier this year when our (soon to be) fps mentor ms may tan asked if any of us would like to try out fps! And so our family was formed. Audrye, Huimin, Chris-Tin and Shuting.
Since march we have battled through problems, underlying problems, solutions, criteria, ranking and action plans, at the same time braving global warming, freedom of speech and most recently, nutrition.
Our unofficial meeting venue was always Chris-tin's house, and in the process, all of us gained weight with all the many many many marks and spencers cookies and ruffles we had! So much for learning about all the transfat.
It was in this intellectual environment that chemical bonding took place! In the end, we officially became the fps family, which can withstand high temperatures without any change in state. XD
A note about the name! reverse electrolysis was one of our action plans! and fps stands for Future Problem Solving!
Did you know? Chris-Tin killed the blog the first time because she didnt know that half the html for the blog was cut off, and she saved the template changes! so she had to do it all over again. ):

OVERR :D THEY WERE ALL SO BAD BUT DON'T CARE HAHAH IT'S OVER. if you're hungry, go to nus engineering faculty canteen, indonesian stall, and order the grilled chicken set. wonderful recommendation from fursham and IT'S LOVE RIGHT RIGHT?
i'm retardedly happy now that cts are over even though i had this terrible dream about this scary blue square on my window which caused a ghost called amanda to haunt my room, then chris-tin came along and she got possessed and started being strange D: then the next day i was driving (YES DRIVING :DD) my car, oh wait actually it was this trishaw-like thing with a motor D: when i remembered poor chris and people around me said that she was in the police station because something happened at the marathon run thing that she went for, then i tried to call her but my phone is severely screwed up like you all know and the reception kept dying D: oh my i was so scared. then somehow i knew that amanda wasn't really a ghost she was just a spirit who was being abused by her family then somehow i looked up and it was her house and i saw it happening.
then i woke up ):
but sigh now that's over. YAYYY WE'RE FREE and there're so many things to do over this youth day weekend and fiel is having gathering and family of 27 too and there's singapore passion run even though weiyuan and my duties got split up): AND WE CAN FINALLY GO OUT AND WATCH TRANSFORMERS AND HAVE FUN BEFORE DEATH AND TIME COME HAND IN HAND TO KNOCK ON OUR DOORS:DD must go for dinner with chrissy but i can't go out too much in the evening because must stay in mummy's good books so that she won't ground me forever when i get 3Ds and an U so let's go for lunch one saturday and talk until 4.
we went back to the lab yesterday and YAY WE SAW EVERYONE AGAIN AND I SWEAR LINGYEN MISSED US WAHAHA i missed her too):

yeah it's been hurting on and off for the entire day, and i have no idea 1. where the pain is coming from (i can only say its the leg region because there's no real point of origin) and 2. what is causing this. oh well lets hope it'll go away with time yay. it will because i say it will.
a)today was a very bad lab day. i miss koonyeow b)i am behind in my schedule c)i am also behind in studying (ASHVIN SHOULD GO AND DIE STUPID OVERACHIEVING MUGGER) d)i am sad

all repeat after me. "i, (state your name), will never again separate my gc from my maths homework. my gc is my best friend."
lab is seriously getting hellish. trying very hard not to fall asleep after lunch, and trying to study while waiting, trying to finish quick. -.- please let drheng be merciful and let me take next week off.
i will finish integration today. i SWEAR. at least finish the holiday revision ex which i have been working on since.. exactly one week ago! okay then i can go move on to other subjects. yes. tmr, i will bring tys and chem to the lab. yes. what a wonderful plan.
im kind of looking forward to gec! i think it'll be very fun! although ridiculously tiring.
family meeting at 8:13 PM
tadaima!
today was a suprisingly productive day (in christin terms that is,) with no bench work at all. just alot of planning and planning. it was kind of sian but yay my supervisor brought me to engineering dept which has REAL nice food. they even have a macs, where we went later to eat ice cream. when we were there, a weird guy came up to me and asked where he could buy a shirt like mine. i'm sure i gave him a blur look at first but REVELATION. i was wearing my project white elephant shirt. well folks, they are NOT IN PRODUCTION ANYMORE, and have not been since um, 2005. sorry about that. hm then anyway we were talking about the shrek ears and my supervisor bet me two icecream cones and a canned drink that i wouldnt wear shrek ears from macs to the bus stop. CLEARLY, someone was wrong. anyway yeah then he was saying how i wouldnt wear it into the lab (haha wrong again), but then we were saying how if we really ran into our mentor then uhoh. and WHO should we see walking towards the main door than DRHENG himself! so i swiped off my ears (in a very smooth motion i might add). my supervisor later said that i had good reflexes. ahh all i can say is DONT TEST THE 3RD BASE. yay. shrek ears are actually very comfortable to wear, and they work as hairbands! so i kept wearing them for awhile after that mmm.
me and my supervisor have this speculation that the lab we work in has bad fengshui, it being at the end of the corridor and everything. so today, i took my work into the pantry just to test it out. the verdict? the pantry has too many food smells. yum.
after srp i went to bishan, and who should i meet on the train but sarah ong! my brother's ex classmate cum ex rg prefect cum ex softballer! she's going to yale omg so smart. AND she's still doing attachment at the genome institute 0o anyway i ended up in bishan library where i DEVOTED myself (i say proudly) to differentiation, which, might i add, is NOT the language of the devil. there i stayed until about 8:15 when i emerged from my little cave on the 4th floor because i'd given up waiting for my suddenly very hygienic batchmates. you see, we were supposed to celebrate ping and chewy's birthdays and training ended around 710? but evidently everyone went to bathe (or something like that) so they walked into j8 around 8:35. and i had to leave by 9 (by order of the matriarch) so sad it was. sorry ping, i still love you ok? (and i got you free icecream! and a main course!) after i left the library and bought my emergency (lj) dinner, i called gen (who also didnt go for training) and walked around with her for a total of 10 seconds until we saw the rest of them.
dinner was an unknown affair, owing to the fact that i WASNT THERE. -.- im sad. well anyway ping and chewy hope you guys had a good time! well i have to wake up early tmr so i shall sign off here. oyasuminasai!
i miss storytime.

temasek sem people are really interesting and nice, esp wenjun who i made sing for me like one million times by holding his camera hostage, and warren who sounds really pro reading jap and amuses me trying to convince himself that he's really a rubriks cube zaikia. not to mention carebear who has YET to come up with a nickname for me HAHA good luck. oh well. but sometimes it feels kind of awkward knowing that.. oh nvmind. (i hear mummy sigh with disappointment)
i swear.
11:37pm you astound me. you dont call a meeting and DRAG people out of their houses to ask, "eh, so how ah?" you are NOT going to get an answer please. its a waste of time. and who has been the one pulling most of the weight? not you, obviously. clearly competency is not one of your strong points. heck, what ARE your strong points?
i really wish things were different if things were different then maybe different choices would be made if different choices had been made then different people would be affected, and then maybe we would have been happier but heck who cares about speculation what matters is now so the question is do you believe
things happen for a reason?

we drew with angels! ahha awesome. i got one bunt pop and flyball tagout. (YAY double play!) my batting still sucks, i need to stop lunging for the ball and stand STRAIGHT. yesyesiwilliwill. somehow repeating everything twice seems to make things more likely to come true. smu guys are really really nice to us. i nearly hit one of them with a foul drive though, luckily he ducked in time.
